Mercure Geelong - Carbon Neutral

Mercure Meetings are Carbon Neutral; Greenhouse gases produced during the meeting will be offset by funding efficient energy sources through the Carbon Reduction Institute. The funding of these offsets will be funded by the hotels and will not be passed on to our guests.

All Mercure Hotels follow the Accor Environmental Charter with 20 priority action points identified to reduce energy and water consumption and improve waste management and recycling. These 20 action points are adhered to by all Mercure Hotels.

Mercure conference guests also have the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions produced from their flights to and from the meeting through the Carbon Reduction Institute. Please click here to use this service.

Mercure Meetings will calculate the carbon offsets for each hotel by the use of a carbon calculator developed specifically for the Mercure Brand by the Carbon Reduction Institute. Our calculator is tailored to each individual hotel by the Carbon Reduction Institute working with the our hotel.

About the archive

Healthy Cities & Making Cities Liveable

From 2008 to 2017 this site was the online home of the Healthy Cities and Making Cities Liveable conferences — a decade of programs, keynote speakers, venues and abstracts on healthier, more liveable urban places.

In later years the site continued as a blog covering health, homes and everyday city living. This restoration preserves all of it — the conference pages, the articles and the photos — as a static archive you can browse and search.
