Destination NSW partnered with Ecotourism Australia to provide free access (until 30 June 2025) to the pre-certification Strive 4 Sustainability Scorecard for eligible NSW visitor economy businesses.

Program Overview

The Strive 4 Sustainability Scorecard supports visitor economy businesses to assess their current performance across the four pillars of sustainability:

  • Environmental impacts
  • Socio-economic impacts
  • Cultural impacts
  • Sustainable management.

By measuring your business performance, you can make informed decisions and take steps to enhance and promote your sustainable practices.

The scorecard will support you to:

  • Learn how your business can positively impact people, the planet and culture.
  • Evaluate your current sustainability performance (in less than a day*)
  • Receive personalised and practical insights for continuous improvement.
  • Clarify and simplify sustainability practices through a snapshot evaluation.
  • Showcase your commitment to visitors.

The scorecard can be completed at your own pace. *The average completion time is 4 to 8 hours.

Please note, this program has now closed. Businesses interested in completing the Scorecard can do so by applying directly through Ecotourism Australia, with fees applicable. Learn more here.
