Creating Sustainable Tours
Sustainability is a global issue—one which we are working hard to integrate into our business and in all that we do. Given that we support global tours with huge carbon footprints, this is an ambitious undertaking; as an ambitious team, we are ready to take it on and we recognise the need for innovation in this space.
We’ve partnered with Susterra, sustainability experts, to help you and your clients meet your environmental and sustainability goals, as well as to evaluate our own business. From carbon reporting to footprint reduction, we will work with you to deliver solutions that bring environmental responsibility to touring.
How Does It Work?
Aviation emissions contribute to climate change, and scientists say we need to do more to tackle the problem. While the greenest thing to do would be not to fly at all, this isn’t always possible—especially when it comes to touring.
- Carbon Reporting: Using calculations (based on route, carrier, travel type and travel class) from our sustainability partner, Susterra, we provide you with an in-depth analysis on the CO² emissions generated from your tour. We also highlight areas where journeys with a smaller footprint could be made, helping you to manage your environmental and social impact.
- Carbon Offsetting: Carbon offset schemes allow individuals and companies to invest in environmental projects around the world in order to balance out their own carbon footprints. The projects are usually based in developing countries and most commonly are designed to reduce future emissions. This might involve rolling out clean energy technologies or purchasing and ripping up carbon credits from an emissions trading scheme. Other schemes work by soaking up CO² directly from the air through the planting of trees.
