Environmental & Social Initiatives - Eco-Tourism


 

Jet Park believes that environmental sustainability is the responsibility of every individual,
business and organisation.


Ensuring the environmental health of our country and our planet for future generations is something we take very seriously.  And, we ‘walk the talk’. View our enviro-Newsletter

In March 2011, Jet Park Hotel was awarded the Qualmark Enviro-GOLD Rating, signifying that we have met the high levels of environmental and social responsibility required of this rating.

Representing the culmination of a year’s work, this was a proud and gratifying moment! It had involved a fair degree of commitment and work by the whole Jet Park Hotel team.

Initiator and driver of the application process, Jet Park Hotel Human Resources Manager, Sonja Herrmann reports,

"When choosing to stay with us, guests can have total confidence they are selecting a hotel who stakes its reputation not only on the standard of it’s accommodation, facilities and customer service, but also on its pro-active and genuine approach to environmental sustainability.”

Nor does Jet Park Hotel regard the project as ‘completed’. New developments in environmental sustainability will emerge and will be incorporated into the Jet Park program. As guests, your contribution with new ideas is not only welcome, they are actively solicited and your participation in sustainable practices equally encouraged:
  • Energy saving by turning off appliances when away from your rooms
  • Rubbish and recycling options
Care for our environment means constant monitoring and improvement where they can be made. Together you, our valued guests, along with staff and hotel owners can make a difference to the future preservation of our beautiful environment for future generations to enjoy.

Supporting the SPCA

Jet Park Hotel owners, Liz Herrmann and John Lateulere have long been avid supporters of the SPCA both in South Africa and here in New Zealand. In fact, Liz and John have adopted two pet dogs from the Auckland SPCA and they couldn't be happier with their 'extended' family.

"SPCA is a cause close to our hearts, and has long been the chosen charity of Jet Park Airport Hotel & Conference Centre."  We began supporting the SPCA the same time as Jet Park Hotel's opening back in 1998. The relationship has gone from strength to strength, and more recently in 2012, became a major 'Bed and Board' sponsor of the SPCA Auckland. With the inclusion of a functional Education Centre at the SPCA Auckland, we are happy to refer clients to their Conference Centre when we are fully booked and vice versa.

"We're really fortunate to have companies like Jet Park come on board to support SPCA Auckland," says Marketing & Fundraising Manager, Rona Booth.  "Corporate support is critical in helping us to raise funds to care for the animals..."

Donate today and help animals like Bright Eyes get a second chance.

Bright Eyes was found dumped in a cardboard box at the end of a driveway in Manurewa. So thin and weak, and was not even able to stand. Six months on and Bright Eyes can look forward to a bright future. After spending time at foster care with Senior Inspector Kevin Plowright, Bright Eyes has now been adopted by Kevin and is a permanent part of the family...  Sadly, we see animals like Bright Eyes all too often. The good news is, you can help. Donate today so that we can give theses animals the medical care they need, and the love and care they deserve. Help give an animal a second chance - MAKE A DONATION.
