We Go Slowly, Tread Softly & Travel Sustainably
We don’t just practice ethical tourism when it’s convenient. For us, it’s a full-time commitment. We tread softly and give back wherever we travel. From the paths we plan, and the food we select to the materials we use and local partners we work with, everything is chosen with an eye toward minimizing our impact and maximizing our commitment to sustainability.
Responsible Travel
Exploring the World with Intention, Integrity & Respect
Every B&R trip is designed with respect—for local traditions, for the communities in which we immerse you, and the environment that surrounds them. Our small-group approach isn’t just about creating more intimate and immersive experiences; it’s about ensuring that our presence is a benefit, not a burden, to the places we explore. Sustainability is embedded in everything we do, from our HQ to the trails we hike. We prioritize locally-sourced food, minimize food waste, avoid single-use plastics, and nurture long-term partnerships with Indigenous communities. We walk the walk.
The Slow Fund
Supporting Conservation, Education & Equity
For us, sustainability isn’t just about reducing impact—it’s about giving back. That’s why we created the Slow Fund, a program that supports projects in conservation, education, and equity. These initiatives—whether preserving cultural heritage, protecting ecosystems, or fostering vibrant communities—are local in impact but global in scope. Each year, we contribute approximately 5% of our annual profits to Slow Fund projects around the world.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
Our Commitment to Net Zero
Since 2023, every B&R trip has been 100% carbon neutral. By partnering with Sustainable Travel International (STI), we offset 100% of our trip emissions, investing in verified Climate Impact Projects that are accelerating the shift to a greener future. But that’s just the beginning. We’re committed to reaching Net Zero by 2050, which means cutting our carbon emissions by more than 90%. Our goal? To make every B&R journey as good for the planet as it is for the traveller. Because when you travel with intention, the world opens up in the best way possible.
