This accreditation sees the Darling Harbour icon as the first Sofitel hotel in the Pacific region to achieve this level of sustainability excellence.

“As one of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks and a leader in the luxury tourism sector, we believe it is essential that we take a lead in this area.

“To receive a final score of 91 percent is testament to the incredible work that our Heartists, Owner and Accor do every day to build a better future.

Owner Dr Jerry Schwartz owns a solar farm in the Hunter Valley, with the hotel receiving credits due to this solar energy.

The Schwartz Family Company is committed to being a responsible company and conserving the wealth that our earth has given us.
