Code of Ethics
Alou's Tibetan Lodge and Adventures pledges to:
Support economic and social sustainability by encouraging small scale tourist developments, providing employment of local people, purchasing products made locally from sustainable resources and providing guidance to all guests to be environmentally and culturally responsible.
Provide education in local geography, customs and culture, creating opportunities for cultural, historical, and environmental learning for visitors to Dímáluò.
Maintain and conserve the flora and fauna habitats in the area by providing appropriate information to visitors, teaching them to avoid disturbing wildlife and flora, discouraging the sale of products or species on the endangered species list, helping to implement carrying capacities, and preventing the introduction of non-indigenous species.
Promote the sustainability of all resources, both renewable and non-renewable; conserving water and energy, and increasing awareness of the need for energy and water conservation.
Reduce the amount of solid waste and climatic contaminants which pose a threat to the ecosystem; disposing of all waste in a manner that is environmentally and aesthetically acceptable.
