Our Sustainability Policy
At Travel Tailor, we are committed to minimising the effects of our business on the environment.
Our commitments
- Our booking system is paperless and, where possible, all records are kept on systems rather than paper files. Additionally, we use e-ticketing to further reduce paper consumption
- The creation of wastepaper is minimised and what there is, where practical, is pulped and recycled
- We use the latest technology available to provide energy saving benefits. When computer systems are upgraded we donate the original equipment to charitable organisations
- Our offices are cleaned using environmentally friendly cleaning products only and consumables (such as hand towels) are made from recycled paper
- Our policy is to use public transport for all company UK business travel
- For any publications we use sustainable forestry sources
- The majority of the airlines, car rental and hotel partners that we work with have their own comprehensive sustainability policies. Please ask your consultant for more details when booking.
