Backroads's reported carbon emissions
Backroads currently does not have any publicly available carbon emissions data, including specific figures for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. As such, the company has not established measurable commitments towards reducing its carbon footprint or addressing climate change. In the absence of specific emissions data or reduction initiatives, it is important to note that many organisations in the travel and tourism sector are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon neutrality. Backroads may be expected to align with industry standards and practices in the future, potentially adopting frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or participating in climate pledges to enhance their environmental responsibility.
