Audubon International and epar
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 – announces that following its recent partnership with Australian software and sustainability company epar, six Australian golf clubs have committed to pilot a new cloud-based approach that will provide richer and faster sustainability insights into their golf course operations.
The clubs are:
These clubs will be the first in the world to utilize the epar Connect 2.0 Audubon Certification program and create a positive social and environmental impact across their golf course operations.
“When we partnered with epar, we knew it would revolutionize how our member clubs in Australia reach their sustainability goals,” says Christine Kane, Audubon International CEO. “Having these six prestigious clubs put the partnership into action in this new way is truly gratifying and exciting for all parties involved.”

Connect 2.0, epar’s innovative RegTech technology, has completely digitized the pathway of the award-winning Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program’s six certification modules — Site Assessment / Environmental Planning; Wildlife and Habitat Management; Chemical Use Reduction and Safety; Water Conservation; Water Quality Management; and Outreach and Education. The cloud-based approach provides richer and faster sustainability insights into every golf course while recognizing and rewarding their efforts.
“These six clubs form a strong foundation for sharing golf’s leading environmental certification recognition program with clubs throughout Australia in a new, cutting-edge way,” says epar Founder and CEO Terry Muir. “We are excited to partner with them as they showcase their nature-based and urban-based climate solutions and build their compelling climate credentials.”
