Bronte Surf Club

In 2005 Bronte Surf Life Saving Club decided to begin the process of making their club more sustainable and to work toward the longer term goal of Carbon Neutrality.

All members of the governing body were enthusiastic as they could see the growing concern about Climate Change and the potentially devastating effects upon the planet. Being a Surf Life Saving Club and at the forefront of many of these effects they felt it was their responsibility to make whatever changes necessary to the Club and its surrounds.

In the same way that Major John Bond in 1903 had a simple community idea that became Surf Lifesaving, the largest volunteer organisation in the world, we believe that if we show and foster environmental initiatives that we may be able to help our community in demonstrating what can be done to arrest climate change.

Vital Plus

Vital Plus owner Frank Sellam immediately took to the concept of the Low Carbon Spa & Beauty Initiative when he first heard about it. After an initial phone conversation and proposal, he decided to engage the Carbon Reduction Institute to undertake a carbon footprint analysis of his business. Frank recognised that this would give him a significant competitive advantage over other businesses in the industry, while allowing him to take appropriate action to reduce his carbon footprint which he could leverage against well-founded calculations.

The Carbon Reduction Institute determined that Frank’s business was responsible for just under 775 tonnes of CO2e last year. This number was established using internationally recognised methods and standards, and included emissions from fuel consumption, electricity; staff commuting, flights; waste and product freight as well as embodied emissions in products, assets and expenses. By purchasing carbon credits to offset those unavoidable carbon emissions, Vital Plus can now say it is truly carbon neutral.

Vital Plus purchase energy efficiency carbon credits from the HELP project in New Zealand to offset their unavoidable carbon emissions. The HELP projects distributes energy saving light globes around New Zealand households, while also assisting in educating consumers about the importance of reducing their carbon footprint at home. The HELP credits meet CRI’s stringent assessment criteria for carbon credits and bring along important other benefits.
