Enota's reporting standard follows the Global Reporting Initiative’s ("GRI") G3 Guidelines (Third Generation). The "GRI" refers to the global network of organizations that create the reporting framework, use it in disclosing their sustainability performance, demand its use by organizations as the basis for information disclosure, or are actively engaged in improving the standard. The Guidelines are the world’s most widely used and trusted sustainability reporting framework, and GRI is committed to their continuous improvement and application worldwide. The Guidelines follow a broad multi-stakeholder consensus based approach and provide universal guidance for sustainability reporting. As of January 2009, only 1,500 corporations worldwide have taken the pioneering step to report their sustainability actions using the Guidelines; we are excited to be within the roster of this innovative group. The framework used in this Report sets out the principles and indicators that organizations such as ours can use to measure and report their economic, environmental, and social performance. The guidelines comprise Reporting Principles, Reporting Guidance and Standard Disclosures, which encompass the Performance Indicators.

We hope that visitors to both our website and facility will take the opportunity to read the Report and provide us with feedback. We want this report to fulfill three objectives: (1) share information about sustainability with guests and our environmental peers across the country; (2) fulfill our responsibility to our former guests and volunteers to report our sustainability performance; and (3) lead by example within the state of Georgia.

In our commitment to sustainability, we raise chickens from which we get our own eggs. We have cows & goats which we milk daily.  We also have a miniature horse, a couple of cows, rabbits and ducks. Enota serves the local community by acting as an animal rescue center.

The kids love to help feed the animals and milk the cow

 

Enota is in the process of becoming a demonstration model for alternative energy

Enota would like to transition to alternative energy in the near future.  Enota has a state-of-the-art hydroelectric micro power plant, which has the ability for 28kw and has the capability to run our main Lodge.  This power source is completely functional but not yet operational. As part of our sustainable and educational commitment we are working towards implementing alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind, as demonstration models throughout the entire property.  We are looking for individuals who will work with us to bring this transition into reality.
