SUSTAINABILITY

Making a positive impact

Our sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives are focused on the following key areas:

  • community engagement
  • environment & biodiversity
  • health & safety

All three outlined pillars have a strong link between them and we therefore think of them as a Venn diagram when planning our initiatives.

Providing a holiday destination of the highest health and safety standards is a crucial starting point and a leeway to making our team members, guests and the locals feel part of the Malama family. This sense of trust, friendliness and togetherness is key for all stakeholders to develop a sense of community, grow fond of the local environment and wildlife, and thus preserve it as if it is their second home.
