Our Pledge
Aqua Taxi has proudly signed the Sustainable Tourism 2030 Pledge, demonstrating our commitment to improving the sustainability performance of our business between now and 2030. The UN World Tourism Organization defines sustainable tourism as “tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment, and host communities.” At Aqua Taxi, we are at the forefront of this movement with our fully solar-powered boats, which are truly sustainable. Our solar-powered taxis do not even draw electricity from the grid, harnessing the energy of the sun to power all operations. This revolutionary approach ensures that our service has minimal environmental impact while contributing to a cleaner and greener future for Ottawa, Canada’s capital.
Each year, we are committed to measuring and improving our sustainability performance through initiatives such as:
- Measuring our carbon footprint and identifying opportunities to reduce emissions year over year.
- Supporting local entrepreneurs and the community by developing a sustainable purchasing policy that prioritizes local and eco-friendly products.
- Implementing a no-idle policy and providing passengers with information about carbon-friendly transportation options.
- Conducting an accessibility audit to ensure our operations meet the needs of all visitors, fostering inclusivity and accessibility in public transportation.
- Exploring partnerships with local educational institutions to promote environmental awareness and sustainability in tourism.
Our vision is to establish Aqua Taxi as a flagship for sustainable tourism in Ottawa and a model for other cities across North America. As Canada’s capital, Ottawa should be a leader in green innovation, and Aqua Taxi is proud to play a part in advancing these efforts by offering a cleaner, more eco-conscious mode of transportation.
