We can’t tackle the nature and climate emergency on our own and the RSPB’s corporate partners play a really important role in our vision of a Nature-Positive future in which people and the planet thrive.  

The RSPB has formed long-lasting partnerships with many different types of businesses, all focused on protecting and restoring nature. From funding key RSPB programmes, to changing business practices, and collaborating on joint campaigns and policy work, there’s a whole range of ways we work with our corporate partners.

Research from the RSPB’s Fair to Nature food certification scheme shows that over two thirds of the UK’s adults want to support nature-friendly businesses.

This July, we’re celebrating some of the amazing partners who make spending your money sustainably that little easier: from your daily skincare routine to once-in-a-lifetime wildlife expeditions.

HX Hurtigruten Expeditions

Whether it’s spotting polar bears in the pristine landscapes of the Arctic, watching marine iguanas bask on the Galápagos Islands, or stepping foot on Antarctica, an HX expedition brings you closer to a world of wonder. With onboard lectures and Science Centres, your Expedition Team will illuminate your mind as you fully immerse yourself in the destinations you visit.

The HX fleet boasts the world’s first hybrid-powered expedition ships – MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof Nansen – and they were the first cruise line to ban single-use plastic back in 2018.

HX is one of the RSPB’s longest standing partners, supporting our work for over 10 years. They have volunteered their time to take part in our beach clean ups, raised an amazing £640,000 for the RSPB, and supported some of our biggest projects, including The Gough Island Restoration Programme. What’s more, HX will donate 10% of every member booking to the RSPB.

Hurtigruten

Norway’s wild and dramatic coastline is made for adventure all year round. Hurtigruten have been the spirit of Norway since 1893, caring for its coast and inviting the world to travel their home as a local. Set sail on the Coastal Express - their original history-making route. Or choose a Signature Voyage which offers all-inclusive food and drink to their top handpicked destinations along the Norwegian coast and high into the Arctic to the Svalbard Archipelago. 

With sustainability at their core, Hurtigruten is now embarking on a journey to build their first ship with zero-emission propulsion for The Coastal Express by 2030. It is the most ambitious sustainability initiative in their 130-year history.

Hurtigruten have been a key partner for the RSPB. The Hurtigruten Foundation have recently funded the Orkney Native Wildlife Project, helping secure a future for Europe’s first-ever conservation dog detection team.

Cotswold Outdoor

For almost 50 years, Cotswold Outdoor have been helping people explore the great outdoors together. They offer specialist kit advice on quality clothing, equipment and accessories from the best brands. 

That’s matched by a genuine commitment to minimising their environmental impact by helping and encouraging people to buy quality kit that lasts, championing their Recycle My Gear services that keep kit performing longer and out of landfill.  

Earlier this year, our joint Pennies campaign with Cotswold Outdoor alongside their sister brands Runners Need and Snow+Rock raised vital funding for the RSPB’s marine conservation work – enabling us to protect and restore our precious marine wildlife.
