STC Expeditions exists to change the perspectives of young people, stretch their personal and global horizons and to celebrate the cultures and biodiversity that exists across our planet.
Our values drive everything we do:
Better Business:
Business should make the world a better place. From paying a fair price for our trips to the cross-cultural understanding that comes from ethical tourism, we believe our staff, clients and the communities we work with around the world should all benefit from tourism. Every action has a consequence; it’s up to us to ensure the actions we take maximise our positive impacts and minimise the negative. In 2025 we signed the Better Business Act ( Home page - Better Business Act) to ensure we are working in the best possible way. In 2026 we are aiming for B Corp Certification. The process has already helped us so much to solidify what we do and how do it and we are excited to keep making proactive steps to make sure our business aligns people, planet and profit.
Celebrate Diversity:
Our lives are richer and our agency greater when we seek to embrace, celebrate and protect the cultures, environments and biodiversity that exists around the world.
Adventure for All:
The educational benefits of travel and adventure should be open to all, no matter their geographic, socioeconomic, religious or medical background.
Education Can Change the World:
Travel, adventure and increasing our understanding of our planet creates passionate young people who are broad in mind set and open to new ways of thinking.
Empowerment:
We look to empower all those that work with us, from our employees in our Exeter office to the students that travel on our trips to the communities we visit all over the world.
