This section of our Impact Report highlights how we are minimising the carbon footprint of True Travel and the initiatives we have implemented in order to actively address climate change and be part of the solution.

We measure the carbon footprint for every single element of each trip, including all suppliers involved, and offer them the opportunity to wholly offset their carbon emissions, through our blue carbon partner, Seawilding.
We have also measured and offset all of our team’s carbon footprint for all of their personal annual travel as well as their commuting emissions for 2022. We agreed that we would measure our total carbon footprint for the year, and then double the offset. Last year we produced 34.5 tonnes of C02, therefore, we have offset 69 tonnes of C0 2 through donations to Seawilding. Our team is already taking steps to travel in more sustainable ways and we are proud that the emissions required to operate True Travel are relatively low by industry standard. However, more can be done.
Looking at the bigger picture, we know carbon offsetting and managing emissions isn’t the long term solution, and of course it is not the only way we are tackling the challenges of climate change. As part of our long term commitment we are taking steps to establish our Net Zero target, working with our selected global charity partners and funding the research and development of blue carbon initiatives.
