Highland Journeys Sustainability Policy

Preserving the Scotland We Love

At Highland Journeys, we provide private and small-group guided tours through the breathtaking landscapes, historic landmarks, and wild beauty spots of Aberdeenshire and Royal Deeside.

Because we spend our days exploring this incredible country, we are deeply committed to protecting it. As a proud recipient of the Green Tourism Gold Award, we believe that luxury travel and environmental responsibility should go hand in hand.

Our sustainability policy is built on three core pillars: Sustainable Development, Continual Improvement, and Legal Compliance. To ensure the safety of our guests and the protection of our environment, we actively manage our footprint through the following commitments:

  • Protecting Our Wild Spaces: We actively support and promote biodiversity, ensuring our tours respect local wildlife habitats, marine environments, and the natural landscape.

  • Championing Local & Ethical: We proudly support our local communities. On every tour, we promote local, independent food and drink suppliers, prioritizing businesses that produce their goods ethically and responsibly.

  • Partnering with Green Businesses: We carefully select the attractions, accommodations, and partners we work with, prioritizing those who share our green ethos.

  • Reducing Our Footprint: We are continuously working to reduce our energy consumption, minimize our waste, recycle wherever possible, and prevent pollution to our air, soil, and water sources.

  • Health & Safety First: We maintain strict compliance with all Health, Safety, and Environmental regulations to prevent accidents and ensure a secure, comfortable journey for every guest.

Our Promise for the Future Sustainability is not a one-time checklist for us; it is a continuous journey. We review our environmental targets and objectives annually to ensure we are always improving our operating efficiencies and reducing our impact on natural resources.

We are proud to share this commitment with our guests, employees, and local partners as we work together to keep the Scottish Highlands beautiful for generations to come.
