CSR and Sustainability
We are more than just a travel agency
Unitas Travel is a value-based travel agency out of Central Jutland in Denmark. As a company and as a mediater of travels, we are very aware of our climate footprint whenever we send people on journeys around the world. Therefore, we offer CO2 compensation as well as climate compensation and in addition, we are preparing and improving our knowledge within the company by educating our employees with the help of Travelife in order to act as responsible as possible.
Besides the environmental aspect of sustainability, we are also very focused on both the social and the economic aspect as we believe that sustainability can and should be measured on other parameters besides pollution. For more than 75 years, Unitas Travel has helped humanitarian organisations get to where they are needed in order to provide aid for people and places with lack of ressources. Likewise, each year, we proudly send off schools and young people as we believe an international understanding amongst cultures is vital for a a better understanding between the countries.
At Unitas Travel, we are very aware of our climate footprint. We know a strain is put on the environment each time we send people off to the world, but we also believe in the importance of securing a better tomorrow for future generations. In our opinion, this can only be done by travelling as it helps creating a better understanding amongst people of different cultures as well as setting the framework for solving climate challenges in unity.

We offer CO2 and climate compensation
We offer CO2 and climate compensation on all our travels. When travelling by bus, climate compensation is already included in the price and when travelling by flight or train, compensation can be included by additional purchase.
In addition, we cooperate with suppliers on different destinations who also have sustainability on their agenda. This means if you as a traveller wish to leave as little a footprint as possible, we can arrange transport, accomodation and a program that fulfill your needs.
We are owned 100% by YMCA-YWCA Denmark
Unitas Travel is owned by the joint movement of YMCA-YWCA Denmark which is part of the world’s biggest youth movement, YMCA and YWCA and we work together closely. Therefore, when travelling with Unitas Travel, you support the non profit work with children and young people in Denmark and abroad, as all our profit is donated here.
