Our Nature Positive commitment is the lead goal in our Sustainability Strategy 2025.

In 2020, we were one of the first travel companies to declare a climate emergency, and at the beginning of 2021, we published our first climate action plan – spearheaded by our commitment to halve our per passenger carbon footprint by 2030, to compensate for all trip and flight emissions, and to rewild 100 square metres per passenger (through our partnership with Rewilding Europe – see page 21). However, our increasing awareness of the biodiversity crisis we face – inextricably linked to the climate emergency –fuelled a desire to go further in our efforts to support the regeneration of nature. Our customers agree, identifying the protection of biodiversity and wildlife as the number one sustainable travel issue they feel we should address, in our customer surveys. On the right hand page, are the targets we have set ourselves in order to further reduce our negative impact on nature and – importantly – support the regeneration of biodiversity, through our adventures and our Foundation.

TOURISM’S NEGATIVE IMPACT ON NATURE:

Carbon emissions (IPBES driver: Climate change)

Pollution and waste

(IPBES driver: Pollution)

Ecosystem exploitation (IPBES drivers: Over-exploitation of natural resources, change in land use, invasive and non-native species and disease)
