Explore reveals blanket carbon offsetting scheme

Operators
14 January 2020

Explore will offset all flights and ground operations as part of the operator’s new sustainability strategy. 

Prue Stone is leading Explore's carbon offsetting scheme

The adventure travel company has been paying carbon credits to offset all its activity since 1 January this year and believes it is the first UK-based tour operator to do so.

All the money is being channelled into Gold Standard projects provided by ClimateCare.

Explore has used a worst-case scenario to calculate the carbon emission for each trip – the furthest airport in each region and indirect flights. 

Trip prices now include the extra cash needed to carbon offset.
