Sustainability Policy

1. Reduction of Environmental Impacts

Authentic Madagascar Tours is committed to minimizing the ecological footprint of its activities. This includes reducing paper consumption, optimizing transport itineraries, promoting eco-driving among drivers, encouraging waste reduction and sorting in the office, and supporting reforestation initiatives.

2. Social and Cultural Responsibility

We respect and promote Malagasy cultural heritage and traditions. Our guides and staff are trained to sensitize travelers to respect local customs, appropriate dress codes, and responsible behavior in natural and cultural sites. We support equal opportunities, fair working conditions, and encourage partnerships with local communities and associations.

3. Local Economic Commitment

We prioritize local procurement and services in order to generate direct economic benefits for Malagasy communities. This includes working with locally owned accommodations, transport providers, artisans, and cooperatives. Each client hosted contributes to the local economy and, through our programs, indirectly supports local development.

4. Health, Safety and Well-being at Work

We ensure safe and decent working conditions for our staff, guides, and partners. This includes first-aid availability during tours, regular safety training, insurance coverage, and a working environment that respects health and well-being. Employees are encouraged to report risks and participate in continuous improvement of workplace safety.

5. Governance and Monitoring

Our Sustainability Policy is supported by top management and monitored by the CSR Coordinator. Progress is reviewed quarterly, using measurable indicators defined in the Sustainability Action Plan. Results are shared with staff through internal communications and with partners through our website and official reports. This ensures transparency and continuous improvement in line with Travelife standards.
