All 50 social enterprise projects – known collectively as G Adventures for Good projects - are under development by G Adventures and its non-profit organisation, Planeterra Foundation.

My team is fun to work with
On Friday night at The Summit (G Adventures' London office) they host regular live news shows, with all news from G Adventures, both people in the London office and G Nation around the world. It is hosted by The Monarchy, four team members who are the ambassadors of culture at The Summit. It includes news updates, sporting events for the office, upcoming global events, birthdays and shout-outs for the team. The CoC is the Circle of Chat which happens afterwards, where drinks and chit chat are shared.
This organisation is run on strong values / principles
All the senior management team wear Core Values t-shirts and set-up and host Summit Talks, where different business leaders and people with interesting stories come in to the office for an open forum chat about their job and how they got there. They support both The Monarchy (culture team) and Green Queens (sustainability ambassadors) in their goals to create happiness and community, and to do the right thing. They are also the barometer for the office ensuring morale is well and people are passionate in what they do every day!
