SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

 

 

Green Climbers Home is a joint venture established in 2011 by two German “crazy climbers” and the Laotian enterprise Green Discovery, which is strongly engaged in climbing and other adventurous outdoor activities. The name Green Climbers Home, derived thereof, is meant to be programmatic not only with regard to environmental aspects of any kind but also in view of the social responsibility against the Laotian people and the country as such.

 

This charming country with its rich and spectacular exotic landscapes, its wonderful people and its old but vivid cultural traditions offers to us a unique chance to live our dream and passion and at the same time to make climbing our profession. This evoked the obligation that we should pay back something to the country in gratitude for this great opportunity.

Hence, it is our strong intention to let participate the local people in the Green Climbers Home project in one way or the other. Above all, this involves jobs at the premises of the camp as well as purchasing locally produced fresh food and other items. Further on we think of arranging volunteer positions in cooperation with schools. We promise to stay aware of the possibilities we do have in this respect and to look out constantly for ways and means to realize them.

 

Accordingly, our employees will be paid their salary throughout the year, disregarding the fact that Green Climbers Home is closed during the rain period. Further more, the local staff, including their families, will benefit from personalized health insurance.

 

Other possibilities, beyond those mentioned above, will arise sooner or later, thus expanding and intensifying or social engagement – depending of course on the economical success of Green Climbers Home. For certain, we will avoid enforcing measures upon the native people which contradict their own convictions, just because we, the foreigners, think that our ideas would benefit them. Let good things grow slowly – and we really intend to spend a long, long time here.

 

In this sense khawp jai lai lai Laos!
