Social Enterprises are organisations that

Purpose driven
Environmental and community benefits
Revenue from trade
Profit redistribution

In practice, this means that our purpose is written into our business rules and corporate documents and guides everything we do, and we will continue to push both our day to day work and reinvest 70% of any profits we generate toward our purpose.

Conservation Management’s reinvestment – We give back financially with direct gifts annually, or through pro-bono support – primarily to people and programs that are applying the open standards and need support to move to the next stage of the process.

invested

We are really excited to continue to explore the opportunities to create the positive changes that this brings.

Communicating openly is important
to us and an essential part of how we work

Please feel free to read about how we reinvest into supporting people, projects and places

At the end of each year, we ask all staff to put forward organisations they think do great work to help communities manage the places that are important to them, to be considered for an annual gift. We occupy an extremely fortunate space in conservation – we don’t rely directly on government or even philanthropic funds.
