PLANET Reducing our footprint and building industry resilience are vital to safeguarding the planet. It’s a no-brainer: all of us must do everything possible to reduce our footprint. Goal: By 2025, Quark Expeditions will reduce carbon emissions per passenger by 10%, and the Quark Expeditions-owned fleet will be zero waste.
PRINCIPLES Embedding responsible business practices into our mission and values is vital to the success of our sustainability program. As a polar-focused tourism operator, our sustainability principles are integral to every decision we make, whether it’s in the polar wilderness or in the places we work each day.
Goal: By 2025, Quark Expeditions will be the most environmentally polar-focused tourism operator.
PARTNERSHIPS It’s through outreach, collaboration, and innovative thinking that we will have a positive impact on the people, environment, and communities we visit. Goal: By 2025, Quark Expeditions will continue to lead change through community engagement and by supporting scientific, conservation and sustainable development in polar communities.
POSITIVE IMPACT Our Legacy at Quark Expeditions has always been to inspire and empower our guests to make changes that create positive impact, wherever they live. Our guests return home with memories of unforgettable polar experiences, and often with an enhanced appreciation of the environment and the need to protect it. Goal: By 2025, the positive benefit of bringing people to the polar regions will far outweigh any impact of taking people there.
