‘Sustainable travel’ and ‘Responsible travel’ are terms that are used quite a lot by companies, but what do they really mean?
We want to make sure that we walk the talk, cut through the buzzwords, and are transparent about the steps we’re taking to make a positive impact.
At Macs, we focus on four key areas where we can make a real difference. Measuring our carbon footprint, maintaining and restoring trails, becoming B Corp certified, and advocating for low-impact self-guided travel.
Our Responsible Travel Promise
We understand the importance of ensuring that our adventures have a positive impact on the world around us. It's our way of continually improving how we do business, ensuring that everyone involved—our adventurers, suppliers, and our business—benefits.
What Responsible Travel Means to Us
At Macs, responsible travel is about more than ticking boxes- it's about honouring the rights, traditions, and cultures of the communities on our adventures. We believe in giving back to the places we visit, and that starts with engaging local suppliers. By doing so, we make sure our interactions with local communities are fair and mutually beneficial.

We’re reducing unnecessary paper use by digitising customer documentation and working with suppliers to explore ways to reduce single-use plastics across our operations.
We've partnered with Trash Free Trails, a non-profit organisation dedicated to reducing single-use plastic in the outdoors. Get some tips for your adventures.
Every year, we donate £5 for every customer travelling the West Highland Way and South West Coast Path with Macs Adventure. These donations support the organisations responsible for maintaining these iconic routes.
