‘Sustainable travel’ and ‘Responsible travel’ are terms that are used quite a lot by companies, but what do they really mean?
We want to make sure that we walk the talk, cut through the buzzwords, and are transparent about the steps we’re taking to make a positive impact.
At Macs, we focus on four key areas where we can make a real difference. Measuring our carbon footprint, maintaining and restoring trails, becoming B Corp certified, and advocating for low-impact self-guided travel.
Our Responsible Travel Promise
We understand the importance of ensuring that our adventures have a positive impact on the world around us. It's our way of continually improving how we do business, ensuring that everyone involved—our adventurers, suppliers, and our business—benefits.
What Responsible Travel Means to Us
At Macs, responsible travel is about more than ticking boxes- it's about honouring the rights, traditions, and cultures of the communities on our adventures. We believe in giving back to the places we visit, and that starts with engaging local suppliers. By doing so, we make sure our interactions with local communities are fair and mutually beneficial.
At Macs Adventure, we’ve always believed in balancing purpose with profit. Joining the B Corp™ community means our commitment to using business as a force for good is now independently certified on a global scale—a true stamp of approval on our impact.
We're excited to unveil our 2023 impact report! For 20 years, Macs Adventure has led in crafting low-impact trips. In 2022, we aimed for B Corp certification, reflecting our commitment to people, planet, and profit. Learn about our achievements, challenges, and future goals in this report.
