Mercure Hotel Harbourside Cairns Carbon Neutral

Under the Mercure Meetings initiative, Mercure Hotel Harbourside Cairns will fully fund offsets for carbon emissions produced during your conference. This means the offset cost of making a conference Carbon Neutral is covered by the resort, not you the client. This cost covers the greenhouse gases produced during your meeting and the offset is used to fund green-efficient energy sources at no extra cost to your conference group.

Mercure Hotel Harbourside Cairns has teamed with the Carbon Reduction Institute to streamline the carbon offsetting process. The Institute's Carbon Calculator determines the amount of carbon emissions created by your conference, and calculates the amount of credits to be purchased from emission reduction projects or carbon trading schemes, such as the replacement of inefficient lighting and technologies with more efficient products, and replacing the use of electricity with natural gas in both domestic and business environments.
