THE EXODUS TRAVELS SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

In this report, we share our progress against the sustainability goals laid out in our People, Places & Planet plan, across both Exodus Travels and sister brand,Headwater.

Our progress towards meeting some of our People, Places & Planet goals was unfortunately delayed or extended due to the impact of COVID-19, both through the pause in trip operation and the reduced staff capacity, so this report encompasses our activity in both 2020 and 2021.

Much of the activity and measurement in these two years was focused on establishing our frameworks, data-gathering methods and processes for the first time. So, although this report doesn’t highlight comparative data demonstrating year on year progress, it does seek to set the context and baseline for the future.

OUR MISSION

Improve life through travel, for the places we visit, the people we meet and the planet we explore.

The Exodus Travels Foundation provides a key channel through which we pursue our People, Places & Planet goals. Last year, we published an Impact Report summarising Foundation activity during 2020. This year, we have integrated our Foundation activity into this wider report. Any content which relates to our Foundation activity is tagged with our little Foundation globe icon, so that it can be easily identified.
