Beyond creating incredible adventures, Pelorus seeks to transform perspectives and, in collaboration with Pelorus Foundation, leave a legacy of impact. Pioneering a new era of luxury adventure travel, Pelorus endeavours to prioritise and showcase sustainable travel, increasing the demand for the infrastructure that enables it. Championed through collective action, Pelorus ensures its values are shared by the people they work closely with around the world. Pelorus has chosen to prioritise the following areas to make an impact:  

DRIVE A FUTURE OF CLEAN TECH TRAVEL

Already offering a range of clean tech experiences, and in the process of sourcing and developing more, Pelorus aims to play a fundamental role in the scale of solutions working to decarbonise the travel industry including, but not limited to, electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, high-speed rail and hyperloop technology, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and renewable diesels, as well as electric and hydrogen-powered modes of transport. Pelorus believes clean tech innovations offer a future of sustainable travel that’s in keeping with the bespoke type of travel Pelorus is known for. On each trip, Pelorus calculates the carbon emissions which is then balanced via Pelorus Foundation’s Climate Investment Fund, a bespoke carbon removal portfolio that supports the scale of emerging technologies needed to accelerate climate action.  

CONSERVE ABOVE AND BEYOND

In collaboration with Pelorus Foundation, an independently registered UK charity, Pelorus works to source and scale innovative environmental and conservation solutions. The mission is to act as a catalyst, empowering individuals and local communities to preserve and protect the world’s wildlife and wild places for future generations. From supporting rangers fighting a terrifying poaching war, to the protection of highly trafficked pangolins, fighting the current trajectory of our planet is a vital part of Pelorus’ mission.

Working to engage and empower its network, Pelorus is creating a selection of highly bespoke and exclusive cutting-edge conservation experiences. Most recently, Pelorus is working to connect clients with high impact local operators working on crucial conservation projects, helping them to leave a legacy in the places they visit. In addition, Pelorus Travel is proud to have introduced a 1% Conservation Levy on each trip to support critical conservation work.  

CONSCIOUSLY CURATING EXPERIENCES

Pelorus is committed to carefully and comprehensively considering the impact of each trip at every level, guided by Pelorus’ Responsible Travel Policy. Pelorus endeavours to uphold the highest standards of sustainability and social responsibility, meaning Pelorus only works with suppliers who are committed to a similar vision. Pelorus’ goal is to cultivate a supply chain that is both transparent and committed to the Responsible Travel Policy.

PRIORITISE PEOPLE

Upholding the highest level of social responsibly internally and within their supply chain, Pelorus strives to ensure its experiences directly benefit local communities, capitalising on the power travel has to drive social development. Beyond this, Pelorus is supporting communities on the frontline of the climate crisis by purchasing credits from Pelorus Foundation’s Climate Investment Fund (CIF).

Whilst supporting the scale of carbon removal technologies, the CIF also invests in Plan Vivo certified credits – a standard internationally recognised for creating and leading a community-led carbon credit model that directly impacts smallholder and subsistence farmers in parts of the world feelings the harshest effects of climate change.  

Pelorus’ Corporate Social Responsibly Strategy was created and developed by Pelorus Foundation, as part of their not-for-profit consultancy service helping businesses with their sustainability strategies.  All funds generated go towards supporting their frontline conservation work.
