It is essential that we recognize the impact our travel has on the environment, and take action to reduce and mitigate our carbon footprint wherever we can. By being conscious in both travel and lifestyle choices, we can reduce our carbon footprint and offset unavoidable emissions to support a low-carbon sustainable future. While carbon offsetting is not a long-term solution, we encourage our travellers to offset their holidays through Gold Standard. Offsetting is an effective way to reduce carbon emissions globally and empower local communities around the world. Other accredited schemes we support include:
Climatecare – a UK-based organization that offers offset calculators for travel and home energy use. The organization supports projects that protect rainforests in Sierra Leone and provide efficient cooking stoves in Kenya.
Carbon Footprint Ltd – a UK-based organisation that offers offset calculators for travel. Projects that you can choose to contribute towards include planting trees in the UK and reforestation in Kenya.
