Evaneos

March 2008, Yvan sends a call-out to an alumni newsletter, looking for a travel and entrepreneurship lover. Eric responds, the adventure begins!

The first round of fundraising took place in February 2011, helping the team to expand internationally. In 2019, Evaneos passed the 500,000 travelers mark, with 22 nationalities in-house.

The 2020 global health crisis hits the industry hard, leading to a Job-Saving Plan. One year later, the first “Evaneos Days” are held. Having 30% of full remote workers, gathering all Evaneossians at la Voyagerie these two days per month is key!

The year 2022 marks a significant milestone for Evaneos by releasing its first voluntary impact report and carbon footprint assessment. This initiative allows the company to take a precise inventory of its actions and their impacts, paving the way for a deep reflection on the efforts needed to achieve its ambitious goals.

Evaneos is committed to driving positive change as a company and within the tourism industry:

• Using tourism as a force for good. Evaneos was founded on the belief that a different way of traveling is possible and that trips could be better for travelers and the places they visit. Better Trips is their company-wide strategy, with each team having a role to play in its deployment.
• Using business as a force for good. Evaneos as a B Corp company is committed to the highest standards of social & environmental performance. They want to contribute to building a more inclusive and sustainable economy, by using profits and growth to create a positive impact on their employees, communities, and the environment.
