# CO2 Reduction Rides Carbon Voyage Fosters Collaborative Consumption Transportation in London, UK By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-01-26 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-voyage References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/carbonvoyage) & [carbonvoyage](http://www.carbonvoyage.com/) Based in London, England, Carbon Voyage is a consultancy that focuses mostly on how collaborative consumption can be used in order to provide more sustainable transportation solutions in the city. More specifically, the team helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint but also the cost and congestion that's ever present in urban areas. James Swanston founded Carbon Voyage in 2009 and his prior experience as an army officer in Australia seems to have contributed to the business' social mission: the consultancy aims to recruit and employ veterans for their operations projects. **Contact Information** Carbon Voyage [website](http://www.carbonvoyage.com/) Carbon Voyage on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/carbonvoyage) Carbon Voyage on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/carbonvoyage) Carbon Voyage on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/company/274726?trk=tyah) Carbon Voyage on [Google Plus](https://plus.google.com/u/0/115234119395166412314/posts) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Consumption Transportation:** Carbon Voyage uses collaborative consumption to provide more sustainable transportation solutions in urban areas. - **CO2 Reduction:** Carbon Voyage helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint through sustainable transportation solutions. - **Veteran Employment:** Carbon Voyage recruits and employs veterans for their operations projects. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** Carbon Voyage focuses on providing more sustainable transportation solutions in urban areas. - **Consulting:** Carbon Voyage is a consultancy that specializes in reducing carbon footprint and cost. - **Military Employment:** Carbon Voyage employs veterans for their operations projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gamified Sustainability Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-carbon-games.md) - [Carbon Footprint Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbongauge.md) - [Cost-Effective Carbon Calculators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ship-green.md) - [Eco-Friendly E-Bike Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tier.md) - [Carbon Offsetting Airline Schemes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etihad-airways.md) - [Eco-Friendly Taxi Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wayder.md) - [Emissions-Free Meal Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoomo-and-uber-eats.md) - [Carbon-Neutral Ecommerce Purchases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbonneutral-ecommerce.md) - [Trackable Web Emissions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-status.md)
