We have
proven that social and environmental responsibilities go hand-in-hand with
successful business.
We have received numerous awards for our environmental ethics, our
business ethics, and our community involvement. Including the Utah's
Best of State Award for in the River
Outfitter category for its unrivaled customer service. The Best of State awards
were created to recognize outstanding organizations and businesses in Utah.
Environmental responsibility is an ethic everyone in the
company lives and teaches. We have strong environmental practices starting from
Leave No Trace, we "take only pictures and leave only footprints." We have a
much extended recycling program. This includes reusing all plastics on trips
from Gatorade bottles to sour cream containers. Returned brochures are sent to
travel agents and are places in rack holders. SGE recycles everything else. All
faxes and printers use recycled paper.
All our meals are prepared fresh. Many of our vegetables
are from our own garden. We commission local farmers to grow fresh produce,
keeping jobs at home. Our meats and chesses are from local Ye Ol' Geezer Meats
in Moab, Utah.
