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.

What We’ve Done So Far

 

Solar Panel Icon

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.

No Paper Icon

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!

Let’s Carbon Label our Tours

It’s a huge project to label every tour with its emissions,
consumption and carbon usage – but we want to show that on every trip.
