Our commitment to ESG & sustainability

Protect your travel to plant our future

At Freedom Insurance Services, of which One Tree Travel is a trading name, we believe in creating a sustainable future through responsible business practices. Our dedication to ESG principles is reflected in our ongoing initiatives and partnerships. Here are some of the ways we're making a difference.

Office initiatives

We are proud to announce that we received a grant to invest in energy-saving measures for our office. This has enabled us to implement several eco-friendly upgrades, including:

 

  • Thermal Blinds: These blinds help regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
  • Smart Plugs: By using smart plugs, we can monitor and control energy usage more efficiently, cutting down on unnecessary power consumption.
  • Water-Saving Taps: Our new taps are designed to minimise water wastage, contributing to our overall sustainability goals.

 

These initiatives not only reduce our environmental footprint but also create a healthier and more efficient workspace for our team.

Sustainable travel & responsible tourism

As a travel insurance provider, we understand the importance of promoting sustainable travel and responsible tourism. We are actively growing relationships with providers in the travel industry who share our commitment to sustainability.

 

Our efforts include:

 

  • Partnering with eco-friendly tour operators and travel agents who prioritise environmental conservation.
  • Emphasising the value of travel experiences that respect local cultures and communities.
  • Encouraging our customers to make responsible travel choices that minimise their impact on the planet.

 

By fostering these relationships, we aim to raise awareness of responsible tourism - we love our planet and understand the value of exploring it, whilst recognising this cannot be sustained unless we change our travel habits.

Sustainability efforts

We are dedicated to reducing waste and improving recycling within our offices. Recently, we have installed new recycling bins throughout and launched several initiatives to educate our team about the importance of waste reduction.

 

One activity we are aiming to support is the Big Plastic Count, where we will track and analyse our plastic usage to identify areas for improvement. Our efforts include:

 

  • Regular communication with our team about the results of our waste reduction initiatives.
  • Encouraging employees to participate in recycling programs and reduce single-use plastics.
  • Celebrating milestones and achievements in our waste reduction journey.

 

These actions help us create a more sustainable workplace and contribute to the global effort to reduce plastic pollution.
