Rabbie’s is thrilled to announce that we are now officially B Corp certified!

At Rabbie’s, our journey is fuelled by curiosity, making our partnership with B Lab™ a great fit. The B Corp movement is dedicated to "changing the rules of the game" by exploring innovative ways to do business—ways that balance profit with purpose and working toward an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. We are proud to join a global community of businesses committed to high standards of social and environmental responsibility.

Since our founding in 1993, Rabbie’s has been guided by a vision to make the world a better place through travel. This vision is woven into the fabric of our core values. By using small vehicles, we can venture off the beaten path and immerse ourselves in local communities. Our tours are designed to share local stories, support small businesses, and stay in intimate accommodations, which aligns with our aim to contribute to local communities wherenever we can.

What Is a B Corp Certified Travel Company?

B Corp is a movement to change our economic system to positively impact all stakeholders — workers, communities, customers, and our planet.
We use small mini-coaches to take you further off the beaten track, which means our tours bring visitors to smaller communities, supporting local businesses and services. By travelling together in our mini-coaches, we can help reduce emissions per person, especially when most seats are filled. It's a more efficient way to explore and a great opportunity to enjoy the journey as a group.

We recognize that exploring the world comes with environmental impacts, particularly in terms of fuel use. While our mini-coaches, carrying 16 passengers, are more fuel-efficient per person compared to individual car travel, there is still a carbon footprint. As a response to these impacts, we have operated with a self-imposed carbon tax of £10 per tonne of fuel used across our operations since 2008.

These funds are reinvested in the community through donations to projects like; forest regeneration, path-building, and community groups supporting of vulnerable groups. We care about the places we visit and aim to make a positive contribution through community investment and responsible practices.

We also work with locally-owned suppliers meaning the economic benefits positively impact local people.

Why Being a B Corp Is Important to Rabbie’s

B Corp Certification is a designation that shows a business meets high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency. This helps us with decision-making and to consider the interests of everyone involved with our business: workers, customers, communities and the environment.

It’s an opportunity to share our own experiences and learn from other businesses who are part of the B Corp movement. The Rabbie's vision is to make the world a better place through travel, and the B Lab’s ethos is the perfect fit and we are excited to be a part of a global movement that reflects our values.

About Our Self-Imposed Carbon Tax

As a response to these impacts, we have operated with a self-imposed carbon tax of £10 per tonne of fuel used across our operations since 2008. These funds are reinvested in the community through donations to projects like; forest regeneration projects, path-building initiatives, and social and community groups in support of vulnerable groups. We care deeply about the places we visit, and we are committed to giving back every step of the way.

Rabbie’s is also proud to have policies in place that demonstrate respect not only for our environment and community but also for our team and our customers. These values align with the pillars of the B Corp movement, and we are committed to growing our business with a mindful awareness of our impact, striving to be a leading voice in sustainable tourism.

The People Protecting Our Places

We’re not alone in our love of the landscapes and natural world. There are hundreds of organisations across the UK who work tirelessly to preserve the places we all visit. We support these initiatives via financial donations from our Carbon Tax and as well as giving up our time to get involved. Here are just a few examples of the groups we support.
