Boca Raton, Fla., - September 2, 2010 – Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG), a leading provider of Colorful Places to Live and Play, today announced its endorsement of The Earth Charter Initiative, a diverse, global network of people, organizations, governments and businesses that promote the well-being of our planet. The main goal of this charter is to inspire a new sense of global responsibility amongst different cultures and societies around the world. Bluegreen is a major supporter of green initiatives and environmental conservation, both of which play an essential role in the Charter.
“Considering Bluegreen’s far-reaching collection of timeshare resorts and its base of almost 223,000 timeshare owners, this was an incredible opportunity to endorse the Charter and spread awareness,” says Stephen Wilke, Director of Human Resources Development. “The principles of The Earth Charter Initiative fall in line with our philanthropic practices, commitment to diversity and our green initiatives and environmental conservation efforts.”
This initiative is based around the “Values and Principles for a Sustainable Future,” and encourages the entire world to get involved. It is a voluntary, civil society effort with participants from leading international institutions, national governments, businesses, faith groups, universities and more.
Bluegreen plans to not only endorse The Earth Charter Initiative, but also spread the awareness through each of their timeshare resorts, to their timeshare owners as well as all Bluegreen associates.
