Our Mission
Our mission at Indagare is to inspire and empower people to change their lives—and the world—through travel and to have a positive impact on the places they visit. How you travel allows you to broaden your perspective and to better understand and support local communities, preserve great cultural sites for future generations, protect critically endangered wildlife and ecosystems and make a difference in the fight against climate change. Each Indagare Membership contributes to the Indagare Impact Fund and carbon neutrality efforts.
Our Impact
100%
Carbon Neutral
We offset the carbon footprint of all of our members' and staff travels.
Our Impact Pillars
Community
When we send people out into the world, Indagare vets our partners carefully to ensure that we can promote the long-term sustainability and development of the local communities we visit, focusing on the support and elevation of marginalized populations through directed projects that address issues at their root.
Heritage
Many destinations are at risk of losing their valuable cultural and natural heritages due to overdevelopment—as well as over tourism and poor tourism practices. Indagare believes in preserving long-held customs and architectural wonders and protecting the autonomy of local communities for the future.
Environment
In the midst of a rapidly changing climate, every effort to preserve our planet counts—from protecting and conserving wildlife to ensuring carbon neutrality and zero waste—and we are dedicated to helping our members do the same during their travels.
Our Partners
Indagare aims to donate 2% of revenue to not-for-profit organizations around the world every year, while prioritizing strong vetting and maximizing per-dollar impact over pure dollar-amount metrics. Indagare offsets all unavoidable carbon emissions, including all staff and client travel, through third-party verified carbon sequestration projects.
Longshield Lion Guardians
The Wilderness Wildlife Trust, an independent non-profit entity associated with the Wilderness Group, supports a wide variety of projects across Africa. The projects and researchers that it supports address the needs of existing wildlife populations, seek solutions to save endangered species and provide education and training for local people and their communities.
Our Carbon Offset Projects
Carbon offsetting allows an organization or individual to compensate for the emissions they create by reducing emissions elsewhere. This is done by purchasing a carbon credit—one metric ton of carbon traded on a voluntary marketplace.
Our Impact Hotel Standards
Our Sustainable Hotel Program awards badges to those hotels that best exemplify a strong commitment to making travel sustainable, so our members can make an informed choice based on what’s important to their experience.
“We believe that how you travel matters, and that we can have a positive impact on all the places we visit.”
