TUI Goes Sustainable

In its recent TUI sustainability report, it has disclosed its 2017 progress towards their strategy. It explains that its airlines at present are 24% more efficient than the six largest European airlines; that 7.3 million euros was collected last year to boost up the positive impacts of tourism and that TUI delivered more than 20 million ‘greener and fairer’ holidays over the last three years.

In general, the report recognized progress against the TUI Better Holidays, Better World strategy. The ambitious 2020 strategy is developed around four core pillars where the company is all set to bring in change at scale to advance sustainable tourism – in its own operations, via value chain, customers and employees, across the wider industry and beyond. With 2017 emphasizing the mid-way point in the strategy, major development has already been made in the first three years.

TUI in the report maps the main efforts to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Along with handling the impacts of the company on the economy, society and environment, the Better Holidays, Better World strategy targets to share the advantages of tourism with local communities in the form of jobs and educational opportunities, as protecting human rights throughout the value chain. The TUI Care Foundation was developed in 2016 as the central platform to enhance positive impacts of tourism in destinations.
