Environmental Impact & ESG
At TVPalm, responsibility for the environment, for people, and for the way the business is run does not sit outside the guest experience. It is visible in the way the lodge is built, the way journeys are designed, the way water is served, the way waste is handled, the way safety is managed, and the way local communities are included. This page is not written in the language of a corporate report. It is here to show how responsibility takes shape in everyday practice.
Measured Environmental Impact
Environment: less plastic, less waste, less pressure
TVPalm publicly states that it has fully committed to eliminating single-use plastic from the guest experience. All guests receive a reusable metal bottle, and a centralized water purification system provides clean drinking water free of charge. On the current ESG page, TVPalm reports 2025 results of approximately 12,000 plastic bottles eliminated each year, a 78 percent reduction in plastic waste compared with conventional lodges, and 65 percent of operational waste sorted and diverted from landfill.
Smaller groups, lower-impact journeys
Regeneration that can be measured
From 2023 to 2025, TVPalm states that it planted more than 2,100 native trees and supported assisted natural regeneration across 3 hectares of forest, with an 82 percent survival rate after 18 months. That matters because regeneration is not described here as a slogan. It is presented as a practical, measurable effort to help the landscape become healthier over time.

Society and governance: responsibility must be visible
TVPalm also states that 90 percent of the team are local people, 100 percent of guides come from the Tây Côn Lĩnh Sustainable Tourism Cooperative, wages are 15 to 25 percent above the local tourism industry average, and 42 guides have been trained in advanced safety and terrain standards. It further states that 20 to 30 percent of annual net profit is reinvested into community and environmental initiatives, alongside daily safety briefings, real-time route risk assessment, weekly operational reporting, and an annual sustainability review.
What this means for guests?
Guests feel this not through a long explanation, but through practical details: a reusable bottle instead of a disposable one, safe water that is offered freely, a smaller and quieter group on the trail, and the sense that care for people, forest, and operations is built into the experience itself.
Our long-term commitment
TVPalm is not trying to make these ideas sound bigger than they are. What matters is keeping words and practice closely aligned, so that environmental, social, and governance responsibility remain visible, grounded, and worthy of trust.
