Owning our impact
We believe business should be a force for good. Good for the people who travel with us, for the communities they visit and the communities we live and work in. But we’re under no illusions, there is no such thing as guilt-free travel.
If the travel experiences we have loved and shared with tens of thousands of people are going to be available for future generations, then change is needed. That’s why we’ve become B Corp certified. That’s why we’ve put in place firm commitments that address not only the impacts our business has on the environment but the ways we can maximise the positive impacts travel can have on communities, wildlife and conservation efforts.
As a B Corp we measure our success on the triple bottom line: people, planet, profit. And beyond our B Corp certification, we’re also:
Taking Climate Action
We’re taking ownership of our carbon footprint and are on a mission to reduce it each year.
We’ve measured every part of our carbon emissions as a company (including our customers’ trips). We have a plan to reduce them by 50% by 2030.
Each year, we will make changes to how we work and who we work with in order to lower our emissions in line with global targets.
In the meantime, all our trips are fully offset thanks to verified renewable energy and nature-based solutions projects across Asia – like the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve in Indonesia, and renewable wind power in India.
Championing Responsible Tourism
We help to extend the reach of vital tourist dollars sustainably, through community-based tourism programs that see the money (and you) stepping off the common paths.
We help our clients reduce their plastic use while travelling.
We prioritise working with suppliers who have the same ethos as us, and we try to affect positive change through engagement with all our suppliers, wherever they are on their sustainability journey
We have a strong animal welfare policy – so our travellers can see well-protected animals in their natural environment, we only work with those who put animal conservation front and center.
We support NGOs that improve health and education schemes in our destination countries, such as Child’s Dream.
Giving 5% of our profits to charities
We pay our staff a living wage and provide them with opportunities to thrive.
Through volunteering and fundraising events, our whole team get involved with local charities.
We endeavour to influence the wider travel industry by being an active member of AITO sustainability networks.
We do not have all the answers but we’re working towards some big, important goals. That means a lot of listening and learning, so if you have any thoughts about our sustainability journey, we’d love to hear from you.
