World Expedition - Index

World Expedition - booklet - Index

World Expeditions is currently
undertaking a complete audit of
scope 1 and 2 levels for all our
offices and product offering. We
are also conducting an audit on
the flights purchased from airline carriers for staff travel.
2. Reduce: Once we have determined the amount of
emissions we produce at each of these levels we will then
set about reducing our emissions across all World
Expeditions offices. We have outlined below how we
intend to make reductions on our carbon emissions.
3. Neutralise: Climate neutrality simply means that unavoidable
greenhouse emissions that our business produces have
been balanced out or neutralised through investing in
projects that prevent the equivalent amount of emissions
being released into the atmosphere.
World Expeditions, through Climate Friendly, supports
renewable energy projects like wind and solar energy that
directly address the root causes of global warming by
replacing fossil fuels with clean energy production. When
we neutralise our emissions we are going a step beyond
canceling our emissions – we are also accelerating the
transition to a clean energy future and contributing to the
technologies that are the long-term climate change
solutions. It is Climate Friendly’s policy to only support
projects that contribute towards sustainable development
and have proven benefits to the local community. Prrojects
we will support are in transitional countries such as China
and Turkey.

Office Efficiencies:
2008 will see the implementation of our plan to reduce our
emissions across all of our offices. The following initiatives
will be put in place:
� Lighting: replace all lighting to the more energy efficient
light bulbs; ensure all office lighting is switched off after
hours.
� Computers: replace all CRT processors with Flat Screen
processors in all offices; use Laptop computers where
ever suitable.
� Equipment: check the energy rating when we buy
appliances such as fridges and kitchen appliances;
program ENERGY STAR setting in the ‘sleep’ modes on
our office computers, printers/photocopiers.
� Staff: educate staff about our energy saving initiatives,
how they can save energy in their homes and encourage
staff to walk or take public transport to travel to and from
work.
� Paper Use: print our entire brochure range on paper
approved by WWF Australia Forest and Trade network;
install a paper recycle program in all offices; use recycled
paper in all photocopy/printers in all offices
� Electricity: cut pollution and save money by using clean,
efficient energy technology in all our offices.
� Staff Air Travel: reduce our staff's environmental impacts
from air travel by using video-conferences for meetings.
