This year, TTG is profiling Travel by B Corp members to find out why the movement is important to them, and their motivations for seeking certification. This month, we hear from slow travel specialist Byway about its mission to make flight-free travel mainstream, while Exodus Adventure Travels showcases its Citizen Science initiative.
The day after Cat Jones founded Byway Travel in March 2020, she set on the mission to become B Corp Certified. That mission was realised in December 2021, though the rail specialist is aware that B Corp means continuing to progress when it comes to people, planet and profit.
Exodus Adventure Travels meanwhile became B Corp Certified at the start of 2024 after a year-long process of scrutinising the business to ensure the highest environmental and social standards.
Here, Byway’s head of partnerships Paul Conroy and Exodus Adventure Travels head of sustainability Rochelle Turner share their views on the importance of B Corp certification, and offer an insight into some of the sustainability initiatives that organically fit into their trips.
