The Long Run

The Long Run is about seeing sustainability in a holistic way. A key component to achieving Long Run goals is through cultivating relationships spanning boundaries and cultures while strengthening partnerships across public and private spheres. For both The Long Run and the Zeitz Foundation, partnerships foster and strengthen efforts to promote Long Run Destinations as a truly global initiative and ensure the highest standards of sustainability at these destinations and beyond.

Whether corporations, NGOs, cooperatives, or governmental organisations, our partners share in our dedication to taking a fair, honest, positive, and creative approach to living and working sustainably. These Long Runners help strengthen our efforts through contributions of financial and human resources, expertise, and policy.

In addition, Long Run Destinations can build strong collaborative relationships with one another. In addition to the international, regional and local partners that work with in the field with our Long Run Destinations, these certified organisations also have access through the Zeitz Foundation to a network of high-profile Ambassadors and expert Specialists in each of the 4Cs dimensions, and NGOs. Such partnerships provide one another with strategic and technical support, resulting in a continuum of advances and improvements in best practices.
