TAG, the award-winning travel and event management company, has partnered with EarthCheck, the world’s leading scientific benchmarking, certification and advisory group for travel and tourism. EarthCheck will be working with the TAG team to benchmark and certify the group’s Asia Pacific offices, working towards the goal of being carbon neutral.

EarthCheck and TAG will work on a variety of ESG projects together, focusing on both TAG’s global office footprint and engaging clients and partners around the world to embrace and support sustainability efforts.

Shane Barr, Managing Director of TAG Asia Pacific, said providing evidence-based, credible certification can enable businesses to act for the health of the planet. “We have always been committed to offering the best in service and support across the globe. We have seen a significant interest in our sustainability commitments, so partnering with EarthCheck was a natural fit in our evolving ESG roadmap. It’s an exciting partnership and we’re looking forward to collaborating with EarthCheck to further engage our partners on a global scale.”

Stewart Moore, CEO and Founder of EarthCheck, said EarthCheck clients are increasingly looking for partners to help innovate and improve the efficiency and performance of their supply chains. “We are very excited to be collaborating with TAG. It is a unique opportunity for the tourism industry to take action and drive its message of responsible travel across the global community. Hygiene, general visitor safety, cleanliness, and sustainability can be expected to be front and centre in the forward travel and leisure plans for all visitor markets as we move into a reset and recovery phase where travel restrictions and physical distancing is gradually relaxed.”
