Brand Journey – Family of Brands
Throughout the years the brand mark has evolved. During its formative years the company's Brand, "Go - Travel Products", with its distinctive red stand-alone 'Go' logo proliferated. As the company continued to emphases product design and packaging, in 2000 the entire design process was brought in-house and the “Design Go” mark emerged, with "Go" obviously being the prominent element. Then in 2011, the business was modernised yet again and the family of marks updated to its latest re-iteration "Go Travel".

Go Travel is committed to providing safe and reliable travel accessories to customers around the world, and this commitment extends to compliance with global legislation and regulations.

Sustainability
Go Travel is committed to reducing its environmental impact by 2025 through the redesign of all product packaging to ensure it can be fully recycled. The company aims to remove all single-use plastic and reduce 85-95% of plastic used in packaging.
Currently, up to 50% of the Comfort Category and 44-50% of the Electrical Category products have had their plastic packaging reduced by 100%, and all Single Adaptor plastic packaging is made of 90% PET blister with a non-FSC paper label.
By 2025, all Single Adaptor plastic packaging will be reduced by 80% to a recyclable PET Pin Cover and FSC certified card. 75% of all Electrical products have had single-use plastic packing material removed, which is equivalent to a 100% reduction in plastic.
Go Travel is committed to sustainability and a more environmentally responsible future.
