Environmental performance and evidence coverage are measured separately. Ownership and community information remain separate from this environmental rating.
| Pillar | Weight | Performance level | Contribution | Evidence and source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nature, biodiversity and regeneration | 30% | 4/4 | 30 / 30 points | The independent Long Run profile reports quantified fence removal and tree planting as landscape restoration. The operator describes legally protected NamibRand habitat and a conservation levy. These support exceptional implemented conservation; a new biodiversity census is not claimed.

| Energy and climate | 15% | Missing or stale evidence | Unknown | Operator material distinguishes installed solar infrastructure from a delayed Dune Camp plan. Current camp-by-camp coverage and emissions outcomes require confirmation, so this pillar is withheld. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Water | 10% | 4/4 | 10 / 10 points | The operational Village reports about 80% wastewater recovery and reuse, corroborated by The Long Run. This figure covers the Village, not every guest camp; proposed treatment upgrades are not counted as completed. Source · 2026-10-02 · Corroborating source |
| Waste and plastic | 10% | Missing or stale evidence | Unknown | The operator acknowledges inadequate waste-sorting capacity and describes proposed improvements. Current completion and diversion data were not established, so this pillar is withheld. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Food, farming and sourcing | 10% | 2/4 | 5 / 10 points | The Long Run documents an operating vegetable garden supplying the lodges. No verified percentage of total food purchasing or organic certification is claimed. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Buildings, heritage reuse and land use | 15% | 2/4 | 7.5 / 15 points | Current lodge information documents tented rooms, wooden walkways and open canvas ventilation. These are implemented low-impact design elements; future heritage restoration projects do not earn implementation credit. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Transport and operational footprint | 5% | Missing or stale evidence | Unknown | |
| Measurement, transparency and certification | 5% | 3/4 | 3.75 / 5 points | The current independent directory identifies Global Ecosphere Retreat certification and published restoration and water outcomes. Guest operations tours provide further transparency; a current full carbon inventory was not found. Source · 2026-10-02 · Corroborating source |
Version 2.1 weights conservation and habitat at 30%, heritage reuse and land use at 15%, energy at 15%, water at 10%, waste at 10%, food at 10%, transport at 5% and transparency at 5%. A pillar contributes its weight multiplied by its performance level divided by four. Solar equipment alone cannot establish a high overall score. Missing pillars are excluded from the performance denominator and reduce evidence coverage. Performance levels: 0 documented absence or contrary evidence; 1 claim; 2 a specific implemented system; 3 several evidenced systems; 4 quantified outcomes or independently verified exceptional implementation. Ratings require at least 70% coverage; below 85% coverage they are capped at 3/5. If less than half the weighted evidence supports implemented systems, the rating is capped at 2/5. A 4/5 result requires at least 70% evidenced performance. A 5/5 result requires at least 90% performance and coverage, exceptional documented outcomes across at least half the total weight, and strong nature conservation. Evidence must be rechecked within two years.
