Our Road To Net Zero

Since the launch of our sustainability strategy, global action on the world’s response to climate change has continued to advance. We have matched that advancement through our decision to commit to net zero. 

Our Climate Action Plan outlines how we will reach net zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050 from a 2019 baseline year, with accompanying near-term and long-term targets that are validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). Our primary focus is to decarbonise, the most effective means to address climate change. To enable that, our parent company The Travel Corporation has established the following validated science-based reduction targets:

Net Zero Target: Our Sustainability Goal 1
Reach net zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050 from a 2019 baseline year.
Near-Term Targets (2030)
Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Plus, reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, and use of sold products 27.5% within the same timeframe.
Long-Term Target (2050)
Reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2019 base year.

To cement our commitment to decarbonize, in 2022 we launched a Carbon Fund – a fund dedicated to financing initiatives to reduce the carbon emissions of our business. This fund is a bold step towards prioritising the planet and will be used solely for initiatives that contribute to our net zero journey and help restore our planet. Progress made by this fund will be reported on in future Impact Reports.

To further support our journey to net zero, our TreadRight Foundation will prioritise and invest in nature-based solutions developed to address climate change as well as the rapid loss of biodiversity. Learn more about TreadRight and our projects.
