In the beginning…

“In my two decades at the helm of Puma I observed, often from close up, how the exploitative use of natural resources and the host communities undermines the prospects of a sustainable future. I also realized that the challenges could not be addressed from remote drawing rooms. One must inevitably work at the interface of economy and environment on the ground where change matters most.”

Jochen Zeitz, Founder of the Zeitz Foundation

Ecosphere – our planet and all of its life-sustaining regions – maintained in the healthiest possible state, with the major contribution to that health coming from people making sustainable choices.

“aiming towards excellence on the path to sustainability is something that is very hard to achieve without collaboration and support. Sustainability is not an exact science and there is so much information on the internet about what to do and how to do it, but being part of a group of people from all over the world who can learn from each others mistakes or successes seems to be a much more profitable and efficient way of progressing.”

Ali Allport, Community & Conservation Manager, Sasaab, Kenya

“the assessment was extremely well thought through and covered areas of our business that initially we had not really considered as part of our 4C strategy – such as employee relations and culture – but in fact opened our eyes to new interpretations of our “responsibility” as a business to our stakeholders. Delphine’s knowledge of other properties and examples of initiatives being run elsewhere were hugely inspiring and gave us a lot of ideas for new things we can try on Vamizi – particularly ways of involving staff in improving resource use and making it “fun” for everyone to participate”.

“the Long Run Initiative is not for those who want to green wash their credentials. It is not for those who think that this is a one-off exercise. From being a Long Run Alliance Member to being in reach of GER standard to going beyond the GER standard – this process is a journey of continuous improvement on the path of excellence in sustainability and it is a process – whether we get the GER rating or not, that Cottar’s 1920’s Camp has found incredibly constructive and beneficial in our journey and in our approach toward long-term sustainability”
