Environmental Policy

We operate according to sound environmental principles and are fully committed to our green initiatives that help protect the environment, as well as policies which aim to manage our impact on society. Our innovative eco-strategy ensures we are the ‘greenest’ overseas volunteer work facilitator on the planet. Here are some of the measures we follow to minimise any detrimental effects as a result of our business practices.

  • We run a ‘paperless’ office
  • We run an eco-friendly office (100% powered by renewable energy)
  • We use a laptop that complies with the advanced EPA Energy Star requirements
  • We try to directly offset our own carbon emissions by living eco-conscious lifestyles
  • We use ‘green’ products whenever possible (i.e. goods that are biodegradable, not tested on animals, or carry the Fair Trade mark)
  •
