Pioneers...

It was a big challenge years ago when we first looked at how a Travel Management Company might make a difference to the world around us, not least because we were the first in the industry to do so! Since then, we haven't stopped searching for new and better ways to give back both to the environment and the community - and we've now launched Responsibly Portman our programme for change and improvement which touches every part of our business and helps us to do more.

Here are a few things we do...

For our clients

Carbon offsetting and CO2e reporting - working with ClimateCare and Manage CO2, we make it easy ourclients to meet and exceed their carbon offsetting needs or targets by supporting renewable energy and energy efficient projects that make a difference..

Find out more about how this works.

The Environment

Our partner ManageC02's industry-leading software allows us to measure and report quickly and accurately on our emissions and through ClimateCare, the long established environmental-focused organisation, we're able to contribute to a whole range of socially focused projects.

Portman People

Responsibly Portman champions across all our locations are led by a steering team of senior managers and together they bring Responsibly Portman to life in everything we do.

Charities and Communities

We work hard to make a contribution to the communities we touch and our nominated charity When You Wish Upon A Star is just one of the ways we try to help.

Who we work with

We're very grateful to the many organisations who in addition to our partners ClimateCare and ManageCO2 help us achieve our goals, including:

When you wish upon a Star for children with life threatening illnesses helping to make their wishes come true
The Borders Forest Trust, an environmental charity who conserve, restore and manage native woodlands
The Mayday Network helping UK businesses address climate change
WRAP helping UK business to become more resource efficient
Grundon producing energy from waste

"It's all too easy to be complacent about social responsibility which is why I'm so proud of the way our Responsibly Portman champions and steering team are making things happen. However, we're well aware there's always more to be done!"

Michael Hare, Chief Executive Officer, Portman Travel
