Our responsibility
We don't want adventure and sustainability to be a contradiction. Nature is freedom, the basis for experiences and a central part of the Off spirit. That's why we want to do our part to maintain the health of our ecosystem. Although our business model is in many cases more environmentally friendly than travel alternatives like
air travel, the camper travel model presents us with significant challenges: Each trip generates CO₂ emissions and tire wear is one of the main contributors to microplastics in the environment. It is therefore all the more important for us to sensitize our customers and employees to sustainable behavior and to set a good example.
Our strategy for greener travels
3 pillars for greater sustainability
Good to know
How is a ton of CO₂ produced when traveling?
- For 1 tonne of CO₂, up to 5 people together can travel around 2,800 kilometres in one of our campers (e.g. Munich – Barcelona – and back) - source.
- For the same amount of emissions, only 2.2 people fly from Munich to Barcelona and back in one plane - source.
- First place: on a long-distance train, almost 8 people can travel from Munich to Barcelona and back for 1 tonne of CO₂ emissions.
What factors impact the CO₂ emissions of a camper trip?
The footprint of our campers is generated by the following factors:
- Vehicle production
- Cleaning
- Maintenance
- Damage
- Wear
- Equipment
- Waste
Travelers have a direct impact on the following emissions:
- Driving emissions
- Cooking
- Standby heating
