Environmental Ethics Social Ethics Economic Ethics

Holistic Management® provides us with the structure for making decisions which move us consistently towards social, economic and environmental sustainability, whilst creating the quality of life to which we are aspiring. This means that every decision is subjected to a minimum of seven testing questions. Once a decision is taken the results are monitored and any adjustments made to ensure we consistently keep on track. if you would like to learn more about Holistic Management® click here

Environmental Ethics We are committed to accepting our responsibility to the environment, and to future generations, in our management of The Lodge as a holiday destination. We would also feel uncomfortable offering a service which we did not consistently check for environmental sustainability. As a result we place the environment top of the agenda through: limiting guests to the number that the environment can support using renewable energy sources wherever possible ensuring that the services we provide do not damage the environment providing bio-degradable cleaning and body-care products for guest-use in order to avoid damaging soil microbiology re-using all grey-water generated by guests at The Lodge offering information to guests to help them soften their impact on the environment when planning for, and enjoying, their holiday researching ways in which we can safeguard the environment even better than we do currently working on a 'repair rather than replace' policy with regard to fixtures and fittings at The Lodge Return to top of page

Social Ethics The environment is not the only consideration in our management of The Lodge. We believe that it is important to be sensitive to the social implications in our relationships with guests and our local and international community by always working towards: treating everyone with attention, respect and understanding communicating clearly and effectively fostering feelings of connection, support, trust, confidence, responsibility and self-esteem accommodating short-falls and concerns with consideration and positive action expanding our social skills Return to top of page

Economic Ethics As we work on a holistic decision-making basis, economics is also included alongside social and environmental considerations. However, we believe that we can create an income-generating activity which still reflects wholesome values by ensuring that: any action taken is sustainable investments are made with organisations that are committed to accepting social and environmental responsibility wherever possible we consistently work within our means by maintaining a debt-free status we generate income based on our need rather than our greed we seek to complement what others do rather than compete we maintain an 'open book' policy Return to top of page
