SUSTAINABILITY
Climate change is the crisis of our time.
The impact to humanity and all life on earth will be devastating if we don’t take bold action. Here at NEMO, we accept our responsibility to dramatically reduce our carbon footprint and became Climate Neutral Certified in 2022, with the goal of reducing our emissions in half by 2030.

Achieving our mission depends on healthy people and a healthy planet. Adventures will only be possible for everyone if we can create an equitable relationship with the planet for all. We view all of our sustainability efforts through the lens of planet and people.
