Frequently Asked Questions

Sustainability

What is carbon neutrality?

An organization, event, product or service is successfully Carbon Neutral when it can claim net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This means all significant GHG emissions produced by the business, event, product or service are balanced out by removing or preventing an equivalent amount of emissions from entering the atmosphere.

Why would a hotel seek to be carbon neutral?

5% of all global emissions are from the Tourism and Hospitality industry. 

The Parkside Hotel & Spa relies on the selling the pristine, natural environment, fresh air, and clean water of Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island as a whole.

It is important across the entire sector that we work towards reducing our carbon footprint, to ensure we have a vibrant tourism and hospitality industry well into the future. 

What is a carbon offset?

A carbon offset is a greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction that is used to counterbalance, or offset, a GHG emission. They are sometimes also referred to as carbon credits, VERs, or CERs.

A carbon offset occurs when an individual or organization emits a given amount of GHG emissions but invests in measures that remove the equivalent volume of GHG emissions from the atmosphere or prevent the emissions from taking place at all. Carbon offsets are a financial instrument that represents this reduction (counterbalance or offset) in GHG emissions.

What is the Climate Contribution fee?

At The Parkside Hotel & Spa, we take sustainability seriously; in fact, we are a carbon-neutral and Five Green Key rated hotel. Our Climate Contribution program consists of a small fee of $2.00 per night that goes towards four amazing, forward-thinking initiatives with Offsetters. We encourage our guests to read about these amazing Offsetters initiatives that we support here.

This fee is optional and should you choose to "opt out", please inform us at check-in.
