At eGuide, our commitment to sustainability is integral to everything we do. We are dedicated to protecting and enhancing Tasmania's natural beauty while delivering exceptional experiences to our guests. Our sustainability efforts encompass environmental, social, economic, and ethical practices

We have offset 100% of our carbon emissions for scope 1 and 2 by supporting the Tasmania Land Conservancy New Leaf Project. A conservation initiative focused on protecting and restoring significant areas of native habitat across Tasmania. The project involves the acquisition and management of private lands to safeguard biodiversity, preserve endangered ecosystems, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of Tasmania's natural landscapes. Through habitat restoration and conservation efforts, the New Leaf Project plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological health and diversity of the region.
