At INTX, we fully understand the impact that the transport industry has on the environment.

We want to ensure our clients receive a quality service whilst also doing our part to minimise our impact on the environment and taking care of the planet.

As a small business, we know that we’re not going to solve everything all at once but we are committed to bettering ourselves everyday and have taken steps to start to reduce our impact on the environment.

Our environmental policy can be accessed here.

As well as doing our best to minimise our impact, we encourage our clients to do the same wherever we transport them. Our responsible visitor charter can be accessed here.

Our sustainability efforts are implemented and considered with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals in mind as we are determined to be a part of the solution.

Green Tourism

As a company who specialises in providing transport solutions for the tourism sector, we support the work Green Tourism are doing to hold companies accountable for how they operate. We have signed up to Green Tourism’s award programme in 2022 and in our 2024 assessment, we earned a silver award.

We are committed to improving the way we do things here at INTX and we are working hard with Green Tourism to gain a higher-level award and show our dedication to running an environmentally friendly business that puts people, places and planet at the centre of all decisions.

Better Business Act

Our company joined the Better Business Act coalition because we believe the world needs every business at its best – creating good jobs, helping to fix pressing problems and adding value to society. The Better Business Act will amend section 172 of The Companies Act to ensure that company directors are responsible for advancing the interests of shareholders alongside those of wider society and the environment.

We are encouraged by the fact that the Better Business Act is a business-led campaign, driven by leaders who recognise that the law has fallen behind business culture and who have proven that this approach to business works for everyone.

We believe that the Better Business Act is a unique opportunity to demonstrate UK leadership on the global stage – creating a competitive advantage, driving innovation, accelerating progress to net zero, and aligning with the government’s ambition to build back better.
