What is Global Ecosphere Retreats® (GER) Certification?

Global Ecosphere Retreats® (GER) Certification is setting a new standard in sustainability and is a driving force in promoting and developing sustainable thinking around the globe. It ensures that best practices are adhered to and innovative approaches experimented with and researched to develop sustainable solutions.

The GER® certification is undertaken by those Long Run Alliance Members that have transitioned from a commitment to sustainability to the effective demonstration that their resources are sustainably managed. Once the certification is achieved, these become Long Run Destinations (GER® certified).

Unique Features:

The GER® certification system assesses performance and processes across the 4Cs (Conservation, Community, Culture and Commerce). It helps LRDs maximize the positive and minimize the negative impacts of their activities, whilst encouraging them to strive for higher-order learning and long-term achievements.
