Purpose Foundation

As a company in responsibility ownership, we believe that everything we do can make a difference. As a start-up whose articles of association are already rooted in steward-ownership, we prioritize the long-term wellbeing of our stakeholders, including employees, customers, and society as a whole.

We are committed to staying true to our core values and ensuring that our actions align with our principles, especially in the areas of sustainability and social responsibility. Belonging to a family of like-minded entrepreneurs within the Purpose Foundation strengthens our collective impact and enables us to collaborate and learn from one another.

We host our website and API on IONOS servers running on 100% renewable energy, and we optimize code to reduce energy use and environmental footprint.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond our digital infrastructure. We work with a fully remote strategy, creating flexibility for our team's wellbeing while saving resources related to space, energy, and water consumption.

Ecological sustainability

What we believe

Travel is a privilege. Only 5% of the world's population ever has the opportunity to voluntarily leave their home country, even once in their lifetime.

We firmly believe that travel allows us to gather important experiences, encounter nature and culture, and get to know very different realities of life.

So that locals and travelers benefit equally, we support collaboration on the ground and promote measures that ensure travel revenue stays in the region.

Our team

Diversity, equity, and global collaboration

We live an open work culture in which we are constantly learning. As part of the re:connect Hub by fivep, we shape the way we work according to regenerative principles: a supportive working environment where we enjoy advancing our shared mission.

Partners

A network for better hospitality practice

We bring accommodations together with sustainable providers and create a network that promotes environmentally friendly practices in hospitality.

Change becomes easier through best practices and concrete action steps, and even guests are involved as sources of ideas for positive change through observations and feedback. Because only together can we drive positive change.

Transparency

Making sustainable travel the default

While 85% of travelers want to travel more sustainably, 42% say it is too time-consuming to find sustainable options, and more than 37% do not trust sustainability labels. By increasing transparency between accommodations and travelers, we help make sustainable travel the new standard in the travel industry, so everyone knows where their money really goes.

Clear and accessible information about sustainable practices also encourages accommodations to pursue environmentally friendly measures with ambition.

Inspiration & learning

Sustainability spreads

Through carefully designed workshops, panel discussions, and presentations at various events, we inspire and motivate people toward regenerative travel.

In addition, we offer individual coaching and foster exchange networks for best-practice examples. This empowers people to become changemakers.

Travel that is safe for everyone

Information for different needs

We present the performance of accommodations clearly so individual needs can be addressed. This includes services for people with mobility limitations, visual and hearing impairments, as well as family-, pet-, and LGBTQIA+-friendliness. That way, everyone knows what to expect when booking, without hours of phone calls.

Our applications and services are designed to benefit all users. That is why accessibility matters to us not only on our website, but also in our app and other offerings.

Sustainable Development Goals

How we contribute to the SDGs

Our main focus is on creating incentives for accommodations and travelers to reduce their emissions, consume responsibly, and avoid mass tourism. In doing so, we contribute to SDG 12 and 13. We also focus on social sustainability in the spirit of SDG 8 and 16 by promoting fair work opportunities and intercultural understanding. With projects such as our Sustainable Travel Detective Club, we support SDG 4 and show that Education for Sustainable Development can be a lot of fun.

  • SDG 4: Quality education
  • SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth
  • SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production
  • SDG 13: Climate action
  • SDG 16: Peace, justice, and strong institutions
