Responsible travel
At Best Served Scandinavia, we're cutting our carbon emissions and doing more to protect our environment. To help us achieve this, we've agreed to undertake measures including moving our documentation to a digital form and offsetting carbon from all company travel, including staff research trips to our featured destination. We also encourage our clients to offset their holidays through the schemes detailed below:
Carbon offsetting your holiday
In order for you to be able to carbon offset our full range of luxury holidays, we've chosen three carbon offset schemes that cover travel by plane, train, car and cruise ship. All offer projects that are accredited by the recognised Gold Standard.
Climate Impact Partners
UK-based Climate Impact Partners offers offset calculators for flights and car journeys, as well as for personal energy use at home. It supports projects that protect rainforests in Sierra Leone, provide efficient cooking stoves in Kenya and develop renewable energy sources in China. For more information, visit climateimpact.com.
Carbon Footprint Ltd
Another UK-based organisation, Carbon Footprint Ltd offers calculators for travel by air, car, motorbike, bus and rail. Projects that you can choose to contribute towards include planting trees in the UK, reforestation in Kenya and the Americas and community-based projects that provide clean drinking water and efficient cooking stoves around the world.
