INTRODUCTION
The Camps International Group (‘CI’, ‘Camps’) has been leading the way in ethical travel for nearly 20 years. Our unique social enterprise model proves that good business, if done right, can also be good for the planet.
This document outlines the decision-making criteria we use throughout our global operations. We are very proud to have made significant contributions to the long-term success of our host countries in areas such as sustainable economic development, cultural preservation, social inclusiveness, animal welfare, conservation and environmental protection. We strive always to make the right decisions for our communities, project partners and travellers and to deliver the best standard of project work we can; project work that maximises positive impacts and mitigates any negative effects.
Our actions for sustainability in the context of climate are delineated in a separate document, The Camps Climate Action Policy , and within our Responsible Traveller Training programme. We recognise that our activities emit carbon and have an impact on the planet’s climate: we are now in a process of deep and thorough review to reduce carbon emissions, compensate where we cannot eliminate them and achieve net zero as soon as we can.
This document, along with the others mentioned above, forms part of our wider Responsible Tourism strategy to ensure that we continue to have a positive impact on the world and that we, our travellers and communities prosper together.
