Founded in 1991 by legendary mountaineer Greg Mortimer and his wife Margaret – both passionate environmentalists – Aurora Expeditions has been committed to sustainability from the very beginning. Today, we are proud to be a Certified B Corporation™ (‘B Corp’), reflecting our dedication to verified social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
Since the start, we have embraced a responsibility to inspire, educate and advocate for the protection, preservation and regeneration of wild places across the globe. Beyond reducing our environmental footprint, we take tangible actions to make a positive impact and foster a global community of ambassadors for the planet.
We know there’s a long way to go, and are committed to continuously learning, advancing and improving our technology, operations, and activities and staying true to our purpose and values while growing alongside the B Corp movement. But we’re proud of how far we’ve come on our journey to being the global leader in responsible expedition travel.
