Own initiatives

At the office

• We believe that even small adjustments can have a major impact. That is why we choose to send our travel documents digitally. Travel light!
• We have also not been releasing new paper guides for several years. In this way we prevent unnecessary forest cutting and no CO2 emissions occur because no shipping is required. Our website is our showcase where you will find a lot of current inspiration.
• We all work (paperless) from home in order to limit CO2 and nitrogen emissions and not unnecessarily burden the environment with maintaining, heating and cleaning an office space.

Your trip

• At our destinations we only work with agencies that have included responsible tourism in their programs; the local economy is boosted and our partners are raising awareness of the need for conservation and protection. Together with the local population, they are committed to initiatives aimed at environmental education and minimizing environmental impact.
• We select accommodations that provide education and employment to the local population, use solar energy and treat wastewater before going back into the river.
• Excursions are always carefully chosen and with respect for people and animals. For example, contact with the local population will always take place by mutual consent and wild animals are left alone as much as possible and only spotted in their natural environment and from a distance.
• We prefer to use airlines with a modern fleet and good care for the environment. A good example of this is KLM, which – in addition to the use of sustainable bio-kerosene – offers travelers the option of compensating the CO2 emissions of the flight via the CO2ZERO service. In addition, KLM contributes to local development at its destinations worldwide through its charity that provides education, a safe home and medical care to children all over the world.
