Sustainability
Busselton Jetty is committed to sustainable business practice. From small steps like providing water fountains and encouraging reusable bottles, to our iconic solar-powered Jetty train, to our goal of becoming a carbon-neutral attraction by 2025, Busselton Jetty is committed to ongoing improvements for the benefit of our planet.
Visitors can also contribute by offsetting the emissions from their visit through our partnership with Everclime, supporting the Human-Induced Regeneration project at Yuin Station in the Shire of Murchison. Together, we are fostering a greener future, ensuring that the natural beauty of Busselton Jetty can be enjoyed sustainably for generations to come.
Busselton Jetty uses the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals to assess our progress and to guide our goals for a better future.
Busselton Jetty has been eco-certified with Ecotourism Australia since 2003, achieving Green Leader in 2020. Our work to be environmentally, socially and economically sustainable has led us to being accredited both as an Advanced Ecotourism Operator and Climate Action Certified business.
Advanced Ecotourism Certification
Busselton Jetty is proudly Eco Certified for Advanced Ecotourism, reflecting our commitment to delivering sustainable tourism experiences. This certification ensures that our operations meet the highest standards of environmental responsibility, providing visitors with immersive, nature-focused experiences that minimize ecological impact. It demonstrates our dedication to preserving the unique marine environment surrounding the jetty.
Climate Action Certification
As a Climate Action Certified business, Busselton Jetty is committed to taking measurable steps to reduce our carbon footprint and address climate change. This certification recognizes our efforts in implementing sustainable practices, such as energy-efficient operations and carbon offset programs, ensuring we play our part in mitigating climate impact while offering visitors a sustainable way to enjoy the natural beauty of the jetty.
Plico Impact Card
The Plico Impact Card is a key part of our commitment to sustainability at Busselton Jetty.
In partnership with Plico Energy, this initiative allows visitors to offset 25 kilograms of CO2—equivalent to about half a day’s emissions for the average Australian—while supporting critical conservation efforts.
Each card purchased contributes to managing and untangling sea birds around the jetty, helping to preserve our unique marine environment. This program reflects our dedication to both reducing carbon footprints and maintaining the natural beauty of Busselton Jetty for future generations.
What does the Busselton Jetty Environment foundation do?
Did you know?!
The Busselton Jetty Environment Foundation facilitates a number of coastal (and underwater!) cleanups each year in the South West. At our 2023 Injidup Remote Area Cleanup, our volunteer team removed approximately 100kgs of marine debris from the coastline, comprising of around 2577 pieces of litter, of which a staggering 94% were plastic!!
Data from each cleanup is logged with the Australian Marine Debris Initiative Datababse, helping to inform management decisions to prevent marine pollution.
