Earthwatch is committed to developing and implementing a coherent social and environmental policy which demonstrates good practice.
As part of our mission, it is important that Earthwatch manages the environmental and social impacts of its activities as a responsible organisation. We must practice what we preach to our public, environmental, corporate and internal stakeholders - essentially, we work hard to 'walk the talk'.
In order to deliver this we have identified 6 key areas of focus:
Earthwatch's environmental policy and proceedures that minimise impacts from our day-to-day operations.
Earthwatch's policy on how we form partnerships with the business sector to deliver improved environmental and social outcomes.
Earthwatch's use of socially and environmentally responsible investments.
Working life for Earthwatch employees and how we comply with legislation.
Health and saftey procedures and the standards we adhere to on all our expeditions.
Earthwatch's commitment to being transparent about how we conduct our work to achieve our global mission.
