“The only way to get rid of responsibilities is to discharge them.” Walter S. Robertson
BEING RESPONSIBLE means taking responsibility for something, being careful and keeping to the rules.
We want to see a world functioning in line with two key values: Sustainability and Respect.
For this reason we highlight projects offered by our partners – whether hotels or tour operators – who put special emphasis on the following four factors which though different are equally important:
ENVIRONMENT: Helping to sustain the environment ‘in loco’, without interfering with, or taking advantage of, the local populace; using energy resources carefully; taking active care of local cultural heritage and landscape.
EDUCATION: Transfering resources to stimulate development, aid conservation and the appreciation of local heritage for social benefit.
LOCAL KNOW-HOW: Seeing our partners use local companies to maintain projects, using the know-how of people born in the particular area, who know its rhythms and balances and how to bring out the area’s beauty for everyone to enjoy.
HEALTH: Seeing this new value take root in everyone’s consciousness as a lifestyle.This leads to us all being more committed to reducing atmospheric emissions, to using water carefully, caring more responsibly for our seas, and to developing better ways of managing our energy resources.
