Practical solutions for a resilient, sustainable future

Board‑Level “Impact Finder” Workshop

Not sure where to start? Sustainability can feel overwhelming, and every travel business is unique. This focused workshop helps senior leaders pinpoint their biggest impacts, align priorities, and uncover clear, actionable steps to drive meaningful change.

Carbon measurement

A baseline measurement to GHG Protocol standards covers both a company’s operations and the impact of its travel products. TerraVerde delivers both, using its proprietary JEM calculator—purpose‑built to measure the carbon footprint of travel packages and tours.

But measuring is only the beginning. Once the footprint is assessed, TerraVerde helps clients design and implement practical, sector‑specific strategies to reduce emissions, grounded in the realities of the travel industry.

Training & engagement

Are your teams embedding sustainable practices into their daily roles? ESG knowledge is rapidly becoming an essential skill for travel professionals. Yet awareness remains limited across many areas. Our training programs are tailored to the unique challenges of the travel sector and use real-world examples to inspire and empower your teams.

A strong first step in upskilling your staff is certification through TerraVerde’s accredited Carbon Literacy training course.

Climate change risk assessments

In 2024, natural disasters caused global economic losses of $417 billion, up by 15% year on year, of which only 37% was covered by insurance. What is the exposure to you and your clients? TerraVerde assess the environmental and social risks to destinations through satellite data, enabling informed, sustainable decisions and guiding practical solutions to be implemented.

ESG regulatory guidance

TCFD, CSRD, ISSB – ESG regulations are growing rapidly, and businesses face increasing pressure to comply. Even if you’re not directly subject to these rules, being part of a compliant value chain means aligning with regulatory requirements is essential.

TerraVerde helps you navigate these frameworks, analyse your stakeholder value chain, and identify material topics, key steps to ensure future compliance.

Supply chain analysis

With deep sector expertise, TerraVerde guides you in enhancing resilience, fostering collaboration, and optimising business performance.
