Wherever you see the Climate Neutral Certified label, it means the company is accountable for its greenhouse gas emissions. To earn the label, a company must annually measure cradle-to-customer emissions, implement specific action plans to reduce emissions, and invest in high quality, verified carbon credits.
The certification requirements are detailed in the rigorous, peer-reviewed Climate Neutral Certified Standard. Each company’s application is reviewed for compliance by Change Climate’s certification team.

As a B Corp, we look at every aspect of what we do and what effect it has on the planet. As a founding member of the Adventure Travel Conservation Fund, we work with local operators to pay fair local wages and audit the environmental practices of the companies we work with. We use travel as a force for good by ensuring the cost of every Modern Adventure trip has a positive impact: on average we spend 67 cents of every dollar earned locally, enriching the communities we travel to.
