Sustainability
We all understand that travel leaves an environmental footprint, so Olivia is taking meaningful steps toward sustainability to help protect the places we love to explore.
Planting A Tree for Every Olivian on Every Trip
Trees 4 Travel, an award-winning tech for good company, offers a meaningful way for both individuals and organizations to offset their carbon footprint through tree planting, helping reforestation efforts in Nepal and Mozambique.
The Olivia Forest, rooted in the Bardiya District of West Nepal, is dedicated to creating employment and leadership opportunities for women in a region where these chances are rare. By supporting this project, Olivia proudly continues its commitment to uplifting women's economic empowerment around the world.
Offsetting Team & Artist Flight Emissions on Every Trip
Olivia is proud to partner with Sustainable Travel International, a women-led organization dedicated to protecting our planet’s most fragile destinations by working hand-in-hand with local communities and enhancing destination management. Sustainable Travel International empowers businesses and travelers alike to make a real impact by being more thoughtful and responsible while exploring the world.
Through this partnership, Olivia has proudly supported initiatives to offset carbon, including projects like forest conservation, clean energy, marine preservation, and cutting-edge technologies. These vital projects stretch across the globe, reaching beautiful places like Sri Lanka, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Indonesia, Tanzania, and Thailand.
Wildlife Preservation and Rehabilitation
Meet our Wild Olivians! At Olivia, we’re committed to giving back to the incredible destinations we visit by investing in local wildlife rehabilitation and preservation. It’s our way of helping protect the natural wonders that make these places so special.
Olivia the Penguin: This year we sponsored Olivia, a beautiful White-Flippered Penguin and her chick. They benefit from the habitat and rehabilitation program at the Pohatu Penguin Conservation Trust on New Zealand’s South Island.
Korbessa the Elephant: This sweet one-year-old African Elephant lives at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. Rescued as a newborn, she is being raised alongside other orphaned elephants. Sheldrick’s mission is to rehabilitate these incredible animals to thrive in the wild again.
Rain the Bald Eagle: This striking Bald Eagle was found injured in Juneau, Alaska in 2017. After rehabilitation at the Raptor Center in Sitka, Alaska, she remained unable to fly and now lives permanently at the rescue. She is fond of people and thrives as a member of the Education Team, taking the stage to help teach visitors about wildlife conservation.
Ethical Swag and Branded Products
Olivia has proudly partnered with Fairware, a queer women-owned B-Corp-certified company.
Fairware is the supplier for our Olivia Gear, our branded store merchandise, and many of our swag items given away at events. They vet every single manufacturer and decorator we utilize for Olivia swag and branded merchandise to ensure they meet certain ethical and sustainability requirements.
We've also created a model for the Olivia Store that utilizes print on demand so we can minimize waste and shipping emissions. Additionally, Fairware plants 10 kelp along Canada's Pacific Coastline for every order.
