Enviro Silver
Media release - February 2010
Harringtons Motor Lodge earns Environmental Silver award:
Harringtons Motor Lodge has gained a Qualmark Enviro Silver Award, recognising its high standards in environmental practices.
To earn New Zealand tourism's official environmental silver award, Harringtons Motor Lodge had to show effectiveness in energy efficiency, waste management and water conservation, with community activities and conservation initiatives also considered under Qualmark's environmental criteria.
One of only two motels in Palmerston North that have achieved the Qualmark Enviro Silver standard
(the other motel being a HOST Accommodation property also) owners Keith and Bronwyn Wiggins are proud of their achievement. They wish to thank all guests who have supported them in their quest to conserve and save our precious resources.
All businesses carrying the Qualmark logo must meet standards for environmental practices, says Qualmark chief executive, Geoff Penrose, with the awards recognising top performers in this area.
Environmental practices are evaluated as part of our quality assessment process and Enviro Silver Awards are granted to businesses showing a high degree of commitment to caring for the environment and their community, says Mr Penrose.
Qualmark is New Zealand's trusted guide to quality travel experiences. Accommodation businesses carrying the Qualmark Enviro Silver logo have been independently assessed to meet tough quality standards and environmental criteria - earning New Zealand tourism's official quality mark.
