Transforming travel’s impact on nature and people.
Travel is Incredible
It opens our minds, connects us, and makes the world a smaller place. Done well, tourism is a force for good that lifts communities out of poverty, improves living standards in developing countries, and safeguards the world’s natural and cultural treasures.
We Keep It That Way
Tourism also accounts for 8% of global emissions, litters the planet with plastic, threatens species, and overburdens communities. We build tools that tackle these issues and enable the travel industry to adopt better practices that leave behind a positive impact.
We Support the Travel Industry’s Climate Action Journey
