Quark supports the work of the Scott Polar Research Institute. Founded in 1920 in Cambridge, United Kingdom, the Scott Polar Research Institute is the oldest international center for Polar Research within a university, linking the history of polar exploration with modern research. For every traveler aboard Ocean Diamond, Quark will make a financial contribution and enroll travelers in the Friends of Scott Polar Research Institute association.

Quark will offset the emissions of the Ocean Diamond, the company's newest ship, thereby offering the first carbon neutral voyages in polar travel history. Travelers to Antarctica, one of the world's most remote and remarkable destinations for once-in-a-lifetime vacations, will be guaranteed to have a "green" experience at no added cost to any passenger. Quark Expeditions will offset an estimated 5,682 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) with select hydro, wind power and reforestation CarbonNeutral projects in Turkey, Kenya, India and China, one being a gold standard project.
