View our Goals

“We live, work and play from cities to mountain tops, from deserts to the sea. So, we tread lightly, innovate for tomorrow and champion our planet. We recognise the scientific consensus on climate change, and we are conscious in the actions we take to address it now and in future.”

Jane Hastings, CEO EVT

What we are doing about it
