Helping our clients achieve their sustainability goals

There are several ways that we empower our clients to reduce their impact on the environment:

  • Quotes show the total CO2 emissions for each journey, allowing clients to choose the most environmentally friendly option or offset their emissions through various projects
  • Clients have visibility of their CO2 emissions and miles traveled through quarterly MI reporting
  • Rail options offered as an alternative to flying where possible

Climate Emergency

The Board and Directors of Diversity Travel have unanimously declared a climate emergency in 2021. As a result we will accelerate action to reduce our impact on climate change.

Diversity Travel has been a carbon neutral business since 2011, setting annual targets to reduce our carbon emissions and offsetting the remainder which are generated as a result of our business activities. We are proud of our history but recognize more needs to be done, in a shorter space of time, to avoid further irreversible damage to the planet.

Our objective is now to accelerate the reduction of carbon and agree challenging targets to achieve net zero across Scopes 1 to 3 of our Environmental Action Plan by 2025. Additionally we will engage with our staff, customers and suppliers along with the wider community to accelerate action to address the current climate emergency.

David Coe - Head of Environmental Action
