The new department will sit within Intrepid's existing purpose team, and will seek to accelerate the operator's decarbonisation roadmap.
Led by Dr Susanne Etti, who has been named general manager climate, it will oversee allocations from a new £1 million climate impact fund, set aside to support immediate, practical steps to reduce emissions across Intrepid's business and its supplier network.
Etti and her new team will also assume responsibility for carbon and risk reporting, and driving climate advocacy within Intrepid and the wider travel industry.
