Here at Aslan Adventure, our sustainability policy covers four main areas:

1.  Management and legal compliance

2.  Workplace

3.  Service Providers / Partners / Suppliers

4.  Clients

Reduce – Striving towards paperless operations by the end of 2023. Printing only when necessary.

Reuse – Printing on both sides of papers. Providing reusable dishes and cutlery for staff and clients.

SERVICE PROVIDERS

CLIENTS

  • Briefing clients on proper etiquette towards the local culture, nature, and environment.

  • Encouraging clients to choose sustainable transport and accommodation options.

  • Promoting activities and accommodations which benefit local communities.

  • Protecting client information.

Practical steps to put these principles into practice, as a company we intend to:​

  • Avoid unnecessary travel when possible:  To meetings, use substitutes when available and practical, such as teleconferencing and video conferencing. Efficiently scheduling multiple meetings spread over one day of the week, reducing numerous commutes during the week. Choose to use online services when possible e.g. online banking.

  • Encourage employees to use public transportation. 

  • Purchase of equipment and consumption of resources

  • Minimize the use of paper and other office consumables, e.g. double-sided printing of all materials that need to be printed, and identify opportunities to reduce waste. We also use FSC Certified photocopy paper.

  • Reuse or recycle office waste, including paper, computer supplies, and redundant equipment.

  • Reduce the energy consumption of office equipment by purchasing energy-efficient equipment: energy-saving bulbs, switching off lights when not in use, and using electronics in energy-saving mode.

  • Ensure that timber furniture is made from recycled materials or from companies that practice reforestation

​​

Working practices and advice to clients

  • Make donations and volunteer with the local community and/or environmental organizations in order to counterbalance carbon emissions from our activities. Contribute and participate in Tree Planting projects.

  • Ensure that any associates that we employ take account of sustainability issues in their advice to clients.

  • Encourage them to choose local products to support communities and businesses.
