On February 10, 2016, Yarra Valley Estate attained its internationally recognized EarthCheck Silver Certified status for its management systems and practices in support of energy conservation and sustainable property management. The achievement follows on from YVE Bronze bench marking status last year and numerous other awards throughout 2015.
To achieve EarthCheck Silver Certification, a business is required to have a sustainable policy in place and to implement an environmental action plan for proper monitoring and measurements on ten key performance areas: greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency/conservation, freshwater and stormwater resources, ecosystem conservation, social and cultural policies, land use planning and management, air quality and noise control, wastewater management, solid waste management and environmentally harmful substances. Yarra Valley Estate will continue to enhance its measures for environmental responsibility and social sustainability on both the management and operational fronts, while maintaining our amazing guest experience.
