Sustainability and Initiatives
The Selva Negra Sustainable Philosophy is a simple one; treat each other and our planet thinking of the future. Selva Negra has been producing coffee since late 1800s and the company wants to inherit a farm that will be producing coffee into late 2800s. They aspire to keep things as they found them, or better, by empowering employees to take responsibility for their actions and help Selva Negra improve all it’s operations one person at a time. The sustainable model is based on this empowerment of the employees.
The Ecolodge has a variety of policies in regards to their finance, environment, culture and integration, and invited guests to be a part of this.
