We’re Clear on Carbon

Earlier this year, we undertook the largest carbon measurement project of its kind in the travel industry to date. Working with our partners at ecollective, we individually measured the carbon footprint of every single one of our small group tours – including transport, accommodation, activities and leaders – as well as all operational activities involved in running the Explore business, in the UK and globally.

It was a huge undertaking. The Product team at Explore, responsible for designing our itineraries all over the world, added nearly 10,000 lines of data to be processed and fact-checked by ecollective. Between them, they individually calculated almost 2,000 accommodation types and 24 types of transport.

Carbon measurement is part of our three-part Climate Action Plan to Measure, Reduce and Mitigate carbon emissions across our trips and operations. We’re committed to reducing emissions across our programme, with the target of a 50% reduction by 2030.

Now that we’re Clear on Carbon, you can be too. Look
