Aurora Retreat is committed to sustainability practices that maintain and restore the health of natural ecosystems, local economies and the well-being of our guests. Our hope is that visitors will leave us with a greater awareness of their interconnectedness with nature and their community. We strive to step more lightly on the earth, provide healthy food, protect biodiversity, and conserve water and energy. We go about this by:

• Elimination of waste through reusing, recycling and reducing consumption of material products.
• Providing our guests with healthy food, locally and organically grown whenever possible, fair trade for imports like coffee and chocolate.
• Ensuring that we minimize polluting any water source or water body.
• Reducing the consumption of and/or release of any substance that may cause environmental damage to the air, water, or the earth or its inhabitants.
• Protecting biodiversity and conservation of the small ecosystem on our property.
• Conserving energy and making every effort to increase energy efficiency and use renewable energy sources.
• Maintaining a leave-no-trace policy in all outdoor activities.
• Utilising our own energy for transportation as much as possible by walking, skiing or kick-sledging and using small vans or the public bus when necessary to transport visiting groups over longer distances.
• Cooperating with other local companies to provide genuine, small-scale activities and experiences.
• Informing our guests about and encouraging awareness and appreciation of the local environment and culture.
• Continually evaluating our progress towards sustainability.
