Our goal since we started has been to always give more than we take. In 2022, we decided to double down on our efforts of doing good and really put our money where our mouth is. But instead of just focusing on the climate crisis, we wanted to put equal emphasis on both people and the planet. Here is an overview of the promises we have made and our progress so far:
We have calculated this number in two ways. First, the total number of people our brand comes into contact with by 2030 will mean we will have positively impacted 80,000 customers and staff who travel or work with us. The second contribution to this number is the number of people who will stand to benefit from our charitable donations and the community projects we create, which will be 170,000 by 2030.
In 2022 we signed the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism and created our own Climate Action plan to help support the global commitment to halve emissions by 2030 and reach net zero before 2050. In doing so, we now measure and declare our carbon footprint as a business every month and decarbonise by offsetting all carbon emissions through a variety of projects and tree planting initiatives.
We have committed to gifting 1% of our yearly revenue to be spent on people and planet initiatives. Meaning our impact is not reliant on donations post profit, it is directly built into our business model.
