Green Theme

We believe that all people have a responsibility to ease the strain on our planet in any way we can. That's why the White Point Green Theme -- our environmental stewardship policy -- is a firm part of the way we operate. White Point Beach Resort is committed to the principle of sustainability; meeting our needs without compromising the needs of future generations. A healthy environment is an essential element of sustainability. Environmental impact will be a key consideration in all our corporate decisions.

Earlier this Spring, we were honoured to be named the Resource Recovery Fund Board (RRFB) of Nova Scotia's "2007 Business of the Year".

We continue our efforts in partnership with our staff, suppliers, guests and the community at large we will strive to:

• minimize our use of non-renewable resources -- reduce our water consumption through efficient usage and water saver technology

• practice energy conservation and efficiency in our operation; work with suppliers, professional associations and other partners to encourage environmentally sound practices and activities

• use environmentally sensitive suppliers and products whenever possible; seek opportunities to promote environmental awareness to our staff, guests, suppliers and industry partners

• promote an increased awareness and appreciation of the natural world; lobby the federal and provincial governments regarding environmental issues affecting Atlantic Canada

• identify environmental initiatives within our operation that will lead to the restoration and enhancement of the altered environment

• reintroduction of natural flora and fauna; anticipate and prevent activities and practices which will have a negative impact on the environment

• dispose of our waste products with care

• minimize our waste production by reducing, reusing, and recycling wherever possible

The White Point Team is continuously seeking out and implementing new initiatives that further support our environmental goals, we invite you to take a look at our current Green Initiatives. Borrow them if you like and certainly, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please be sure to pass them along to us!
