This is not business as usual.

We are at a pivotal moment in time. Taking definitive action to fight the climate crisis is critical. Children around the world have been leading the way through the Climate Strike movement, and now is the time for adults – and business leaders – to stand up and support the call for immediate action.

As a father, and a traveller, I feel compelled to stand up and support the next generation in their protest for action.

At Intrepid, we believe that we have a particular responsibility to take climate action – because flying is a big contributor to emissions, and we want to ensure we are doing everything we can to mitigate our impact. We have been climate neutral since 2010, and in 2020 we will become a Climate Positive business.

We firmly believe that there are positive solutions available – but change is happening too slowly. We need individuals, businesses and governments to work together to make change happen. This is especially true now, when short-term decision making is putting future generations at risk.

On Friday 20th September – three days out from the UN’s Emergency Climate Summit – we are giving our people the opportunity to support the Global Climate Strike. We want to send a clear message that we stand in solidarity with our children, and that we demand immediate action.

On the day of the Global Climate Strike, Intrepid will be closing our global headquarters so that our staff can join the youth-led movement. This is an unprecedented step for our business, because this is a crisis.
