SUSTAINABILITY & CONSERVATION
Reducing the environmental impact of our business isn’t just a “nice-to-have” for us, it’s at the core of all that we do. Together with The Travel Corporation (TTC), we’ve committed to eliminating all avoidable single-use plastics in both our offices and out on the road by 2022.
And that’s just the beginning.
To encourage responsible consumption and reduce waste, in 2017 we began planting a tree for each guest who chose to receive their travel documents digitally, before our brands transitioned exclusively to electronic documents in 2020. To date, more than 200,000 trees have been planted across 600-plus acres throughout North America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa in partnership with One Tree Planted.
As for our fleet of coaches, they are some of the most efficient in Europe, thanks to the technology of the Euro 6 engine. All of this, while supporting projects striving to keep our oceans and coastlines clean, are just some of the ways we’ve committed to safeguarding the future of our planet.
Our Planet projects aim to reduce tourism’s environmental footprint and promote responsible consumption. Many of our initiatives require partnerships with stakeholders and our peers to advance the United Nations Global Goals and ensure a sustainable future for all.
