Diversity, Equity & Belonging
We are building a culture where everyone can do their best work and feel that they truly belong. This page outlines our commitment, principles, and how we hold ourselves accountable.
Our commitment
We believe travel is a force for belonging. At Over The Planet, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B) are essential to our mission and products. We welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities—across our team, community, partners, and the travelers we serve.
We commit to equitable processes, transparent communication, and measurable progress. When we fall short, we will listen, learn, and improve.
Principles
Respect and dignity
We honor every person’s identity, lived experience, and perspective.
Equitable outcomes
We strive to remove systemic barriers and design processes that produce fair results.
Inclusive by default
Accessibility, representation, and safety are core requirements—not afterthoughts.
Accountability
We measure progress, publish updates, and invite feedback to improve.
