The GoSH footprint
SUSTAINABILITY
As an event we are looking at multiple ways to reduce our carbon footprint. After working with the team at Everclime, we realised a major source of the carbon emissions generated by the event will be associated with transport.
Thanks to Impact ICT, we were able to measure and mitigate the emissions associated with the travel to and from the event, supporting the Rimba Raya Project
Acknowledgement of Country
We respectfully acknowledge the Bindjareb people of the Noongar Nation as the Traditional Custodians
of the lands upon which we are situated.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
on this land and commit to building a brighter future together.
