Sustainability policy
Íshestar riding tours offers high quality tours in the natural environment.
Our goal is to support the sustainable development of nature, society, culture and the economy.
We put special importance on:
- Choosing riding trails in in full agreement with local stakeholders.
- Taking care that horse and man disturb nature as little as possible.
- Using renewable resources in our activities as far as possible.
- Minimizing the production of waste and emphasizing recycling and reuse.
In addition, we aim to:
- Create healthy and secure working conditions for our employees.
- Prefer to employ staff from nearby communities.
- Prefer local products and services that have minimal environmental impacts.
- Give all employees regular training on environmental issues.
- Inform our guest about environmental matters and encourage responsible conduct towards nature.
- Work closely with environmental organizations and other stakeholders regarding environmental matters.
- Fulfill all relevant environmental laws and regulations.
This policy will act as guidelines in our daily operations. It will be annually reviewed and followed by targets and steps to improve our environmental performance. The policy will be communicated to all our stakeholders.
Íshestar was rewarded with the Environmental Award by the Icelandic
Tourist Board in 2001 and has now become a certified member of Green
Globe. We are very proud of this achievement and continue to support
the sustainable development of nature, society, culture and economy.
