The Sustainability Hub
Responsibly Rayburn, our Journey to Reduce.
We know it’s getting warmer out there, so we’re attempting to leave one less footprint by balancing or outright reducing our carbon output. We don’t have all the answers but we are Responsibly Rayburn and this our Sustainability Hub. Come and be a part of our journey to reduce.
Sustainability Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide memorable trips for future generations. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and to working positively with our employees, partners, clients and communities.

What We’ve Done So Far
Solar Panels are Converting
In the summer of 2022 we made a huge investment to install sizeable solar panels on our roof in Derby – and we’re already seeing considerable energy converted from them!
Electric Vehicles & Chargers are Here
Over the past few years we’ve installed vehicle charger points, with all but one of our company vehicles fully electric or hybrid plug-in.
Paper & Plastic are Down
We’re striving to reduce our paper and plastic in our HQ. So, we’ve stopped printing brochures and limit our single-use plastic where we can.
Commutes are Reduced
Each Rayburn family member hybrid works! That’s over 100 people cutting down on their commute.
Smart Lighting is in
We’ve installed smart internal A++ lighting that automatically dims to save energy.
Vamoos App is Ready
Our in-tour app Vamoos cuts back on the need for itineraries, documents and any other form of paper whilst on your school trip.
Carbon Output is Balanced
For our unavoidable HQ carbon emissions, like the use of electrical goods ,we've balanced our footprint with the help of global green initiatives like C-Level.
Carbon Solutions are Offered
You can now see your tour emissions with a carbon calculator and be given the choice to balance them. Your trip can be as green as you want it to be!
Our Responsible Journey So Far
We’re taking some big steps to make sure our carbon footprint is as low as possible now and in the future. But, what about our past? Well, here’s our responsible journey so far.
