Cabot Becomes First Brand to Enroll in New
All-Inclusive Platinum Signature Sanctuary Certification
Program
TROY,
N.Y., June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Audubon
International – the environmentally focused non-profit organization
offering members numerous certifications and conservation
initiatives to protect the areas where we all live, work, and play
– is now the exclusive environmental stewardship partner for
world-class golf and resort developer The Cabot Collection. Its
portfolio includes the award-winning Cabot Cape Breton in
Nova Scotia, Cabot Saint Lucia in
the Caribbean, Cabot Revelstoke in
British Columbia, Cabot Citrus
Farms in Florida and Cabot
Highlands in Scotland.
In this exclusive, groundbreaking partnership, Toronto-based Cabot becomes the first
multi-property brand to enroll every golf course and surrounding
built environment into Audubon International's comprehensive,
all-inclusive Platinum Signature Sanctuary certification program,
which was introduced in 2023.
Platinum Certification brings an entire resort or community
development under one certification umbrella, including golf
courses, clubhouse facilities, lodging, real estate, restaurants
and retail.
"Cabot is one of the most respected and trendsetting golf
destination companies in the world today, and their exclusive
partnership with Audubon International gives our Platinum Signature
Sanctuary program the stature it deserves as the certification
standard for any property that wants to attain, and surpass, its
environmental stewardship goals," says Christine Kane, CEO of Audubon International.
"We look forward to working with Cabot's development, construction,
golf course agronomy, and maintenance teams to reach those goals at
every venue."
Across its portfolio, Cabot currently has eight golf courses
open for play, with three courses in development and future growth
plans on the horizon. Both of the acclaimed Cape Breton courses, Cabot Links and Cabot
Cliffs, are individually certified in the Audubon Cooperative
Sanctuary Program (ACSP for Golf) and will move under the Platinum
Signature Sanctuary umbrella along with its lodging, real estate,
retail and restaurant facilities.
As Cabot's portfolio expands in the near future, those courses
and facilities would join in the Platinum partnership as well.
"We pride ourselves on being stewards of
the destinations and giving back to the communities in
which we're based. Sustainability has always been at the core of
our work, and something we've been practicing from the very
beginning," says Ben Cowan-Dewar,
CEO and co-founder of The Cabot Collection. "As the golf and travel
industries continue to embrace the market's demand for demonstrable
sustainability practices, we are thrilled to be at the vanguard of
this important era. We could not ask for a more accomplished and
respected partner than Audubon International to bring our
stewardship plans to fruition."
