MAD MONKEY CSR Report 3rd Quarter 2014
Water Well Donations
Mad Monkey Hostels has raised $10,350 in water well donations over the past three-month period. This has resulted in the building of 45 rural water wells that will provide clean water to up to 1800 people that were previously without a source for clean drinking water.
The administration costs for doing this were only PayPal fees of $322.18 which have been paid for by Mad Monkey Hostels in full. Every $1 donated has resulted in $1 deployed into clean water projects.
All water well money raised has been deployed and is now working to build wells. All wells are built ensuring they are free of heavy metals or contamination.

Staff Benefits and Internal Benefits
Employment
The Mad Monkey increased the number of Cambodians employed with fair pay and full benefits over the period due to the opening of the new Kampot property that increased PAX.
Of all management positions over 70% are filled with local Cambodian managers, 30% are filled with long term expatriate managers, that are committed to developing the skills of their Cambodian colleagues and that live and spend their salaries in the country.
Healthcare Payments
All members of staff that required health care payments were compensated under our own internal health care payment. A total of $1123.00 was spent on staff healthcare over the quarterly period. The Mad Monkey benefits package that includes maternity pay, time off, free accommodation and free travel for employees remains in effect.
Salary and Rates of Pay
The Mad Monkey continues to pay in excess of industry-standard employment rates for all positions, and has increased average wages well in excess of the national inflation rate over the period, with 100% of employees receiving a pay increase over the past 12 months well in excess of the national rate of inflation.
Profits and growth
The Mad Monkey continues to deploy its operational profits into new socially responsible business investments; this is expected to include our first management contract that will result in a new budget hotel brand under our management that will generate further fair employment and capital to be invested in projects that directly benefit of the people of Cambodia.
The Mad Monkey is expected to further increase its socially responsible tour portfolio over the next quarterly period, by building profit sharing schemes with rural Cambodians that assist in the delivery of the tour, whilst the Mad Monkey effectively uses its customer base to increase the demand for ethical tour products.
Environment
The Mad Monkey continues to recycle all plastic, glass and cardboard waste generated by each business. Revenues generated from the sale of the waste to the recycling companies are split between every staff member in the business in order to maintain an active incentive for recycling.
The Mad Monkey continues to use energy-saving light fittings and A/C units, and maintains a light off policy when areas within the hostel are not in use.
