JOIN TRAFALGAR AND MAKE TRAVEL MATTER

Trafalgar will offset all business travel by 2022, and as part of the UN Climate Neutral Now Initiative, we are working to achieve carbon neutrality across all trips by 2030 or sooner.

All TTC owned Red Carnation properties  included on Trafalgar itineraries will utilise renewable sources by Dec 2021. Trafalgar also encourages and educates third party suppliers on shifting to alternate renewable energy sources.

All TTC owned Red Carnation properties included on Trafalgar itineraries will reduce food waste by Dec 2021. Trafalgar encourages and educates third party suppliers on food waste reduction and sustainable tourism. Trafalgar also commits to meeting this goal for all business related events from 2021.

Our strategy defines “local” as any food sourced within 30-50 miles of where it is prepared, and “organic” as that which is sourced without the use of pesticides or GMOs; in addition to sustainably sourced seafood. Our goal is for all of our Be My Guest dining experiences and other small businesses to source at least 30% of their menu either locally or organically by 2025.

As at Jan 2021, Trafalgar has responsibly reduced printed brochures by 50% since 2019, and will continue to optimise alternate digital solutions to deliver additional reductions.

Trafalgar has significantly reduced SUP across trips and offices and continues to conduct assessments on trip and business touchpoints to ensure alternative recyclable materials are utilised wherever possible.

Trafalgar commits to include at least one Make Travel Matter responsible travel experience on 50% of all itineraries by 2024.

Trafalgar to increase of 20% globally of itineraries visiting developing regions by 2025.

In order to qualify a region as a “developing region” and count an itinerary to count towards this sustainable development goal, the following must be true:

Trafalgar has not visited the region in 2019

An overnight stay in the region is included in the itinerary

The region features no more than 2 sites that suffer from congestion during peak season (ie. long queues that degrade the tourist experience)

The region is considered a secondary or (preferred) tertiary city or “spoke” to a tourism hub

Internal support, opportunity and mentorship within Trafalgar teams and offices is strong, with a focus on developing internal team members. The focus to date has been on building opportunity for female leaders, and has succeeded at ensuring approx 70% of the executive leadership is female. The current focus is on ensuring that both internal teams as well as guests and travelers are represented equitably from within the LGBTQ+ and Black, Indigenous and people of color communities.

To achieve this, Trafalgar in conjunction with TTC has committed to completing a Diversity and Inclusion Strategy by Q1 2021. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion extends to Indigenous peoples, the first travelers. We are in the process of working with various Indigenous travel associations and experts to develop a guidebook that will help our brands engage with Indigenous tour operators in a respectful and meaningful way that honours Indigenous heritage and lands.

Trafalgar offers all employees 2 paid volunteer days each year. Our commitment is to achieve 30,000 hours by 2025.

All wildlife experiences included on all trips adhere to the TTC Animal Welfare policy as at January 2021. Ongoing assessment and inspection is undertaken for domesticated animals involved in on trip experiences.
