Carbon is one way to measure and identify what impact we are having on our planet. While a carbon footprint is inevitably generated with each action, carbon reduction is a clear intention. We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions as much as possible through a set of goals and measured outcomes, and then to offset whatever emissions remain, achieving our target of net-zero carbon emissions.

The earth’s oceans, catchment areas and biodiversity are not only our planet’s lifeblood, but are intrinsically connected to our own health and wellbeing. To protect and preserve them, we will actively collaborate with other conservation organisations and governments, continue our water reduction and waste management protocols, and expand our protection of endangered species, watersheds and habitats.

With the world’s spiralling populations and shrinking resources, the future of protected areas depends on conservation-driven initiatives that generate sound economic baselines and shared value for those communities neighbouring these reserves. We are actively expanding of our local procurement, employment and skills training, small business development, and capacity building initiatives.

In 1991, &Beyond (then CC Africa) was launched, using an untested, integrated business model in which international capital harnessed through low-impact, high-yield tourism was the driver of our land, wildlife and people impact objectives. Today, this proven model is not only a valuable touch stone for other organisations, but also key to our expanded influence across South America and Asia.

The global escalation of environmental threats is a reality that demands an accelerated response. This is when we will facilitate and conduct meticulous research that will inform our decisions. This is the time to lead from the front and collaboratively scale impact across 25 M acres of key biospheres: coalitions of change with like-minded competitors, organisations, stakeholders, governments and NGO’s.
