STEERING THE COURSE TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

For us sustainability means protecting the environment, supporting the people who work with us and choose to travel with us, as well as the communities and places that we visit and do business with.

Our sustainability programme is organised around four key pillars: Planet, People, Place and Procurement. This translates into a drive to continuously improve our fleet’s environmental performance; caring for all employees and promoting diversity and inclusion; working to ensure that our impact on the coastal communities that we reach remains positive; and responsibly sourcing the products and services that we purchase.
 
“We are steering a course towards a lower carbon future and, by 2050, will achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions”

Executive Chairman

Managing environmental, social and ethical issues in our supply chain is critical, and we take a robust approach to this across all areas of procurement.
