Responsible travel
World Challenge endeavours to follow responsible travel guidelines to ensure that all of our expeditions have a minimum or positive impact on the environment. This includes business operations and expeditions in both the UK and overseas.
Responsible Travel - Intelligent business operations
Minimising the environmental impact of our business operations is of the utmost importance to all World Challenge stakeholders. Following responsible travel advice from the Carbon Trust we minimise our business ‘greenhouse gas’ emissions by having regionally based staff to ensure that carbon and other harmful emissions from transport are kept to an absolute minimum whilst customer service is continuously improved.
Climate Care is a service that helps individuals and organisations to repair the damage they do to the climate.

We work with Climate Care to offset carbon emissions from employee flights and we recommend with for all Challengers. |
As an organisation we believe it is our responsibility to ensure that each and every expedition that takes place is planned and executed in a manner which ensures the best possible impact on local people and the local and global environment.
As a central part of the World Challenge ethos this is a key focus from the initial planning stages right through to the completion of any expedition.
Responsible Travel - Intelligent business communications
We are reducing the negative impact our business has on the environment by:
- Recycling all paper and packaging where possible
- Using as little paper as possible:
- Printing documents only when necessary
- Expedition members’ site enables participants to receive all information online rather than via post
- Online payments
Responsible Travel - Hand on heart...
- We aim to adhere to the Young Explorers’ Trust and British Biological Society’s guidelines on environmental Responsibility for Expeditions and also support the guidelines set by the international Porter Protection Group for protecting the interests of porters and guides around the world.
- The sustainable project work that Challengers do on expedition around the world every year has
a positive impact on communities and on individual organisations. - There is an option for Challengers taking part in expeditions to offset their carbon emissions.
