The Rendezvous Company was started with the intention of showcasing and sharing the natural beauty and culture of Antigua and Barbuda. However, with the increase of leisurely travel and other uncontrolled human activity, the importance of preserving both natural and human resources have become imperative as these are the life blood of the tourism industry. It is impossible to ignore our environmental impact and as such we will maintain the policies and procedures mentioned here in. As the directors of The Rendezvous Company we feel it is crucial for every member of the organisation to play their part. We will develop guidelines for staff that encourages the adoption of sound environmental work practices with adequate training and education, while ensuring that working conditions are safe and equitable.

We will use reasonable endeavours to reuse and recycle and promote the efficient use of energy, water and safe waste disposal. We will use all equitable endeavours to contribute to the education and encouraged environmental responsibility of our partners and suppliers, maintaining an open dialogue that brings awareness of the importance of the preservation of natural and cultural resources.
