Green Globe International, Inc. Opens Asia Pacific Region for Green Globe Certification Partner
August 05 2010 - 7:00AM
Green Globe International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GGII), the worldwide
owner of the Green Globe brand, today announced that it has opened
the Asia Pacific region to partner Green Globe Certification and
will allow this licensee to use and promote the Green Globe brand
in the region. The brand had previously granted exclusive
license for the region to Green Globe Asia Pacific. As a
result of this action, Green Globe Certification now has a
non-exclusive license to use and promote the Green Globe brand in
certification applications worldwide.
"We are pleased to announce the expansion of Green Globe
Certification's brand license and look forward to its growth in the
Asia Pacific," said Steven R. Peacock, Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer of Green Globe International. "It had
become apparent that the brand had not been advancing as we had
hoped in the Asia Pacific, especially considering the region's
significant growth potential. Due to Green Globe
Certification's effective work in other parts of the world, as well
as the history of the brand in the Asia Pacific, we believe that
Green Globe Certification will have great success in expanding its
programs in the region."
Green Globe Certification is based in Los Angeles, California,
and is currently represented in over 83 countries with a network of
preferred partnerships in Europe, Africa, Latin America, the
Caribbean, and India as well as Singapore, Bali and Hong Kong,
among others. All businesses certified by Green Globe for
sustainable operation and management adhere to the Green Globe
Standard, which is among the most respected sustainability standard
in use today. The Green Globe Standard v1.3 has recently been
updated to comply withGlobal Sustainable Tourism Criteria(GSTC),
and is published at http://www.greenglobe.com/standard.
The GSTC is an initiative coordinated by the United Nations
Foundation to aggregate sustainable tourism criteria from different
regions around the world. Green Globe Certification
participated in this program and, under the guidance of the Green
Globe International Advisory Group (IAG), has now updated its
Standard to align with the GSTC.
The Green Globe brand and program, which traces its roots back
to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where
182 Heads of State endorsed the Agenda 21 principles of Sustainable
Development, has primarily been used in the travel and tourism
industry but is now being expanded to include a growing number of
environmentally responsible businesses in a variety of market
sectors. The Green Globe brand is an ideal symbol for the
world's increasing awareness of environmental responsibility and
response to global climate change.
