GOLDEN TOURS SUSTAINABILITY PLEDGE

At Golden Tours, we recognise our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment. We aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and dependence on fossil fuels.

We are proud to be doing our part regarding sustainability and we know that small changes can make a big difference. This is why have committed to new initiatives to contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet for generations to come.

Carbon neutral
We are recognised as carbon neutral by Carbon Footprint. As a company, we successfully balance the carbon dioxide we emit into the atmosphere with the amount we absorb. This helps slow global warming, improve air quality and ecological recovery, and reinvigorate natural landscapes. 

Recycling in every office 
We have invested in recycling bins to ensure waste is correctly disposed of. Our offices have also removed all single-use plastic items. Recycling helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by limiting energy consumption because it typically takes less energy to reuse than extracting or mining virgin materials. 

Removing plastic ponchos
On our Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tours, we no longer supply plastic ponchos to save on single-use plastic. Guests are encouraged to dress for wet weather during the winter months to ensure they stay dry when travelling on the top level of the bus.

Sustainable headphones
The new headphones on our Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tours have 15% less plastic than the previous ones and we now use compostable bags. The headphones can be used repeatedly, and we encourage all guests to use them beyond the bus tour. 

Vehicles 
We are committed to helping keep the transportation industry sustainable and environmentally friendly, with vehicles that pave the way to a greener future. We champion the widespread adoption of clean and efficient transportation solutions, mitigating the impact of carbon emissions on our planet while ensuring seamless mobility for people and goods.

We prioritise our customers' needs and preferences, providing them with a diverse fleet of environmentally responsible vehicles tailored to your specific requirements. All our coaches are modern with 2019 plates and our buses have an average fleet age of just 5 years. Our coaches are fully emissions compliant with European directive EURO6. Furthermore, all our coaches and buses run on biodiesel and mineral engine oil. We use electric MPV (multi-purpose vehicles) for Warner Bros. Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter and small private tours. 

Embracing cutting-edge technology and advancements in transportation, we continually strive to push the boundaries of sustainability. Including, the use of a water reclamation plant which enables us to wash our fleet more efficiently and can reuse 70% of water.
