We launched our Tread Lightly programme because we believe that travel is good. We believe it can engage, enlighten and enrich our lives like nothing else, and that future generations have the right to continue to revel and flourish in the benefits it brings.

What’s more we believe that the only way to make this happen is by championing the switch to more sustainable modes of transport.

To do so we’re leading by example, taking thousands of small, innovative steps to minimise our impact, from how we clean our trains to where we source our garlic.

But it’s not all about us. We’ve set up the Eurostar Ashden Award for Sustainable Traveland cutaquarter.com to show how you can play your part at home and on your travels.

We believe that sustainable travel means taking a positive approach to exploring. When we Tread Lightly we leave behind the smallest possible footprint, but take away the most powerful of impressions.
