Environmental Policy
One of our Pinkies by the Chalet Recycling Centre
KISC Environmental Policy
"Vision
Kandersteg International Scout Centre will take a leading role in the development towards a more environmentally sustainable society. This will be done by ensuring a minimisation of the environmental impact, a high training standard of the staff on environmental issues and an active promotion of both Environmental Activities and environmental awareness to Guests.
KISC shall at least comply with local and global legislations and recommendations and make every effort to accomplish the points below, following a combination of what is technically possible, economically viable and ecologically motivated."
This is the introduction to our Environmental Policy. The full policy is available at the bottom of this page.
A Policy alone with beautiful words and impressive statements is not enough and therefore we also have an Environmental Action Plan for the period 2009 - 2014. This document contains many actions in all the different areas of the Centre and we are doing our best to ensure that we complete each one of the actions.
If you as previous and/or future Guest can help us with completing these actions, then please contact us!
