WHO WE ARE

​

The Rotorua Sustainable Charter Inc. is a member organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable practices within the Rotorua District.

​

The Rotorua Sustainable Charter was established in 1998 by a group committed to making Rotorua the most sustainable destination in the Southern Hemisphere. Member businesses are committed to continually improving all business dimensions, including their social, cultural, and environmental performance.

​

Rotorua was the first region in New Zealand to establish such a group and members of the Rotorua Sustainable Charter, include most of the larger tourism businesses and many small and medium-sized businesses.

​

While initially made up of tourism businesses, in 2011, the Charter was expanded to introduce those sustainable practices to the wider Rotorua business community.

​

Rotorua residents and those visiting the district have a role to play in making Rotorua a more sustainable destination. By choosing to support businesses that have committed to sustainable practices, residents and visitors are encouraging other businesses to adopt the same sustainability ethic.
