Our curated sustainable travel partners:
Travel Platform
In the dynamic realm of travel platforms, Trip.com Group is a leader, driving the industry towards a more sustainable future. The company’s ambitious long-term goal includes three key pillars: offering over 10,000 low carbon travel products, promoting sustainable travel concepts and actively reducing carbon emission across its operations. A significant highlight of Trip.com’s commitment is its partnership with CHOOOSE that enables users to offset CO2 emissions easily as shown by its commitment to carbon neutrality. This journey toward sustainability goes beyond products—Trip Moments, home of user-generated content, and an innovative ecological-oriented travel variety show created in cooperation with National Geographic are some projects aimed at raising awareness among travelers.
For instance, the headquarters of Trip.com Group in Shanghai is LEED gold certified which clearly indicates tangible results beyond mere commitments. From implementing smart energy management systems to renewable heating systems, this company has made great strides in reducing its carbon footprint. In 2021, Trip.com Group established its ESG Committee and joined the UN Global Compact further affirming its commitment to creating a more sustainable future for tourism and society.
Therefore Trip.com must not only be seen as just another online travel site but rather as a pioneer who envisions what the future holds for traveling.
