We are involved actively in the International Porter
Protection Group and guarantee that we implement their
recommendations to ensure our staff enjoy decent, adequate wages and
first class conditions. We also go a stage further to secure loyalty
of our staff, as we believe this enhances and achieves a quality
service to our climbing and trekking customers. We operate a service
that is cost effective and has a sound ethical and operational base
by:
-
Ensuring our Nepalese staff are paid an agreed and decent
living wage.
-
Providing our guides, porters and field staff with
adequate and appropriate clothing and footwear
-
for the terrain and climatic conditions.
-
Insuring all our Nepalese staff against illness and
injury.
-
Training all staff in regular health and hygiene
practices.
-
Ensuring all loads carried by porters is less than the
recommendations laid down by the
-
International Porter Protection Group.
-
Implementing good Environmental practices that have no
negative impact and effect on the surrounding landscape and
village life.
-
Providing regular employment opportunities for local
people. Community Action Treks Ltd will use Nepalese goods and
services as much as possible, in particular by using local
hotels, locally produced food and local resources and equipment.
-
Setting up and running an emergency welfare fund for
staff and their immediate families.
Our company is technically a trading arm of the charity
‘Community Action Nepal’ where all profits are directed to the
charity to help sustain health, education and community
strengthening projects in the impoverished middle hill region of the
Himalayas.
This means that all trekkers and climbers who decide to
come with our company will know that what they leave behind is as
important as what they take home. That’s why when we show you some
of the most awe inspiring scenery and places in the world, the local
people also get something life-changing as well; health posts, clean
water systems, schools and other community strengthening
initiatives. |
