In 2018 we cemented our commitment to sustainable travel, and made the decision to become a carbon neutral business. All travel and business emissions are accurately measured, reduced where possible and offset with our partners Klimate and eCollective. When you travel with us you will see that we measure the carbon footprint of every element of your trip from the moment you leave home to the moment you return. We will discuss with you options to lower your footprint before we invest in Gold Standard offset schemes to help offset those emissions that we can’t avoid.

We are proud to be a carbon neutral business but know there is still a long way to go if we are going to play an active role in the fight against climate change. That’s why we joined the ‘Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency Movement’. We hope to help people travel the world responsibly and sustainably – to be part of the solution, with immediate action. You can find more information about what it means to be part of this movement and read our Climate Emergency Action Plan.

Finally; we audit all our suppliers and operators and only work with those who can demonstrate they share our ethos and are working for the good of the planet, not just their shareholders. This is a laborious task but is vital in driving change within the industry.

In 2020 we co-founded the Conscious Travel Foundation – a social enterprise established to unite and educate owner-operated travel businesses, raising funds for grass-roots charity projects around the world.

The goal of The Conscious Travel Foundation is to make travel matter. We want to help people explore the world with purpose and reason, forming meaningful connections with the places they visit. Our aim is to promote and encourage the positive impact of the travel industry on the environment, protecting and conserving the planet for generations to come.

We recognise the immense privilege that comes with exploring the world and want to do everything we can to ensure our business benefits both people and the planet. We are the UKs first B Corp certified luxury travel company, a global movement harnessing the power of business to use it as a positive force. To us, good business is about so much more than our bottom line, it’s about recognising the impact of our decisions on our team, customers, suppliers, community and the environment.
