Audubon International, an environmentally focused non-profit organization that offers members numerous certifications and conservation initiatives to protect the areas where we live, work, and play, announces today a new partnership with epar that will extend its worldwide footprint and help influence, build and recognize Australian golf as a sustainable, compliant and climate-smart sport.
Based in Broadmeadow NSW Australia, epar works with like-minded sport sustainability allies to explore and develop innovative net-zero approaches, technologies, and nature-based climate change solutions that address the fundamental sustainability challenges facing golf.
Connect 2.0, epar’s innovative RegTech technology has completely digitized the pathway of the award-winning Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program’s six-part certification. This new cloud-based approach will provide richer and faster sustainability insights into every Australian golf course and recognize and reward their efforts.

“This new alliance is a perfect fit for both sides and Audubon International is beyond excited for the opportunity to extend its reach Down Under and help Australian golf courses develop and execute a plan that will protect the environment and promote sustainability,” said Audubon International CEO Christine Kane.
Since 1991, the ACSP has steadily grown to include approximately 2,000 golf courses in the U.S. and three dozen countries worldwide.
“This collaboration will allow us to share golf’s leading certification recognition program with clubs throughout Australia.” said epar Founder and CEO Terry Muir. “This partnership builds on a common shared vision between our organizations, and we are excited to enable all Australian golf clubs to access to the latest technology and information in support of golf’s action on sustainability and climate change.”
