Our co-founder Darrell Wade attended virtually to represent our commitment to climate action, in a video presented to attendees. In this, he called on world leaders gathered at COP25 in Madrid to work collaboratively towards action on the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are also proud to stand alongside the global community of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bcorporation.net\/news\/500-b-corps-commit-net-zero-2030\">B Corp certified businesses who made this commitment<\/a><\/strong> (companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose).&nbsp;B Corp businesses include Patagonia, Allbirds and The Body Shop&nbsp;\u2014 as well as Intrepid Travel, as of 2018 when we became the world&#8217;s largest certified travel B Corp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/why-we-became-a-b-corp\/\"><strong>READ MORE: WHY WE BECAME A B CORP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commitment made is just one part of our environmental advocacy, as we work towards being the best travel company <strong>for<\/strong> the world.
