Mission
Trufflepig’s Mission is:
Trufflepig exists to deliver transformative and joyful travel for our clients, in a way that’s respectful, protective of and beneficial towards the ecosystems and cultures wherein we operate, and which provides meaningful, sustainable and fair employment to the Trufflepig community.
What does this mean?
- We want our trips to change/enhance/open/blow our clients’ minds.
- We want to have a positive, protective impact on the ecosystems wherein we operate, and on the communities we visit.
- We want our operations to provide rewarding, sustainable, interesting work to our employees, and to the partners with whom we work.
Core Values
Trufflepig’s core values are:
- Honesty
- We endeavour to be honest in our communications amongst ourselves, to our clients, and to our suppliers and partners.
- We don’t embellish our knowledge and expertise, nor our ability to deliver a trip or service.
- We give frank, informed advice: based on fact and informed by expertise.
- We share our own opinions honestly, which themselves are shaped by our values.
- Integrity
- We take responsibility for our mistakes.
- We decline work which requires us to contravene our values and code of ethics, or which leads us away from our mission.
- Curiosity and humility
- We are intellectually curious about the world.
- We value difference.
- We believe the joy of discovery comes from learning something we didn’t know before: curiosity leads to discovery through humility.
