OUR FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY

At Black Tomato, we believe in the positive influence travel can have. Not just for individuals and their experiences but for the destinations that receive them and the world as a whole.

Travel has always helped fund local economies and in recent years, in particular, become increasingly adept at preserving the culture and supporting conservation of lands and protection of ecosystems. Travel creates empathy and understanding, can inspire and educate. It creates the human to human and human to nature connection that the world needs right now.

By supporting UN Gold Standard certified carbon offset projects; every quarter we work with our carbon auditors to calculate our corporate emissions, and we select an offset project to support – in previous quarters we have offset our carbon emissions through the purchasing of fuel-efficient cookstoves in Kenya, funding of a wind project in India, and supporting a reforestation project in Panama.

Our carefully selected partners around the globe support sustainable travel and actively work to improve the communities in which they operate – this includes supporting micro-economies in Cambodia, the protection of the endangered rhino population in Kenya, and supporting sustainable tourism in the Indian Subcontinent.  Please speak to us about your specific itinerary and destination so that we can share details of how you can offset your trip.

As the world becomes increasingly educated on the impact of our actions it is both our responsibility and focus to develop our corporate and client initiatives to ensure that we move to a future that is beyond sustainable.
