- Our
mission statement and
goals provide an idea of the approach we have taken.
-
We have attempted to minimise our environmental footprint,
starting with the design and
construction of our buildings.
-
We continue to reduce environmental impact
of our operation and guest activities by subjecting all
operational and business decisions to environmental criteria
as well as business criteria such as cost, marketing advantages,
etc.
-
We encourage guests to engage in low-impact activities only
and to consider a more sustainable life-style upon their return
home.
-
We decline business and partnerships which we consider detrimental
to the area and ecology (e.g. motorised recreational activities
such as off-roading and heli-touring, mass-tourism development,
trophy hunting, etc.)
-
We continuously review our actions and systems and implement
improvements to operating practices, energy conservation and
pollution reduction.
-
We support conservation efforts and encourage our guests
to get involved. In 2002 and 2003, about 5 % of our gross
revenue was re-directed to conservation
groups, in addition to a significant time involvement.
