We’re passionate about exploring the world by bike and on foot, connecting with new cultures, landscapes, and perspectives. Every trip leaves a mark—some positive, like supporting local economies and conservation, and some negative, like carbon emissions. We’re committed to understanding the full nature of our impact and making meaningful changes in our operations to help protect the places we love—for this trip, the next one, and for future generations to come.
Before we dive in, let’s break down some quick carbon terminology. When companies report their greenhouse gas emissions, they’re typically sorted into three scopes: 1, 2, and 3. These categories help us understand what part of our global footprint we can directly control—and what’s a bit trickier to tackle, like emissions that come from our suppliers or other outside sources.
2023 Estimated Emissions: 48 kg CO2e per guest, per day
2024 Estimated Emissions: 41 kg CO2e per guest, per day
Each year, we commit to transparently reporting our emissions—whether we’re ahead or behind our targets. As data quality improves, our calculations may evolve, reflecting best practices and better accuracy.
When it’s time to retire our bike fleets, the adventure is far from over. These bikes still have plenty of miles left in them, so we pass them along to happy new owners. In the U.S., we sell them through Trek’s Red Barn Refresh program—an awesome initiative that lets riders trade in old bikes for store credit and keeps quality bikes rolling with minimal need for new materials.
When your tires have rolled their last mile, don’t toss them—recycle them for free at any Trek retail store in the US. Thanks to our partnership with Liberty Tire Recycling, old tires and tubes get a second life as safe, eco-friendly products. On our US trips, Trek Travel guides collect used tires and tubes along the way and recycle them through this program—keeping waste out of landfills and helping the planet, one ride at a time.
We proudly support the Trek Foundation—a public trail development and land protection initiative. It’s one of the many ways Trek and Trek Travel work together to make the world better by getting more people on bikes and protecting the wild places we love to ride. Because epic adventures deserve epic trails—for today and tomorrow.
We’re working to cut emissions—but some things are still out of our hands. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Klimate to support innovative carbon removal and long-term storage projects. These groundbreaking solutions are key to addressing climate change on a global scale, and we’re proud to play a small part now—with plans to grow our impact over time.
Additional Support
We’re proud to support organizations that are doing good in the world—getting more people on bikes, empowering local communities and entrepreneurs, and expanding access to bikes, trails, and better cycling infrastructure. It’s all part of building a brighter future, one ride or hike at a time.
The Sustainability team at Trek Bikes estimates that swapping your car for your bike for a few hundred miles will offset the carbon it took to manufacture that bike. Track your car-free rides with the Trek Ride Club app and see your carbon savings add up—small swaps spark big change.
Want to travel smarter? Cut your carbon by driving or taking the train instead of flying, carpooling when possible, choosing economy seats, and packing light. Opt for direct routes and longer stays—fewer, more intentional trips can make a big difference.
Pack a little greener—bring your own reusable water bottle, mug, tote, and utensils to help cut down on waste. Our eco-friendly bottles and day bags are great, but using your own is even better for the planet (and earns you some extra sustainability points in our book).
Think fresh, local, and in season. When plant-based options are on the menu, give them a go—and choose to dine in to cut down on packaging waste. It’s a win for the planet and, more often than not, your taste buds too.
