CO2 EMISSIONS
We pledge to cut the tour’s direct emissions by more than 50% compared to our previous tour (2016-17), and work with our partners and suppliers to reduce their impacts and emissions as much as possible.
We’ve teamed up with DHL as the tour’s Official Logistics Partner in order to minimise emissions from freight and transportation. As leaders in the field of sustainable transport and logistics, DHL will support the tour by offering solutions to minimise logistics-related emissions and other environmental impacts, from advanced biofuels in the air to electric vehicles on land.
We pledge to drawdown any unavoidable emissions according to the Oxford Principles for Net-Zero Aligned carbon offsetting.
ACTIONS
MEASURE
We will continue to capture climate impact data and calculate our environmental footprint using recognised standards and appropriate conversion factors.
REDUCE
We will adapt all tour operations to minimise emissions, in line with the best science and practices: from
set build to travel to freight to power.
MITIGATE
We will avoid fossil fuels, use clean energy and use reusable and sustainable biomaterials wherever possible.
CO2 drawdown
Despite our best efforts, the tour will still have a significant carbon footprint. We pledge to drawdown more CO2 than the tour produces supporting projects based on reforestation, rewilding, conservation, soil regeneration, carbon capture & storage and renewable energy.
As part of this pledge, the tour will fund the planting – and lifelong protection of – millions of new trees including one tree for every ticket sold.
