Our commitment to Responsible Leadership extends beyond our Group. We take great pride in the recognition we receive from external experts who assess our achievements and give us awards. We have won a number of notable awards this year. We also continue to be well positioned on sustainable development indices.

They have 15 years’ experience inspiring new thinking, building creative partnerships and developing practical innovations to change our world. We’ve been working with Forum since 2003 to help set our strategy and put it into action (initially as First Choice Holidays PLC, subsequently as TUI Travel PLC). Forum selects a handful of companies as Pioneer partners; leading organisations at the cutting edge of sustainability. TUI Travel has been selected as one of these partners. “We’re proud to have TUI Travel as one of our founding Pioneer partners. Pioneers are selected for their commitment to sustainable development principles and have senior staff that embrace the implications of sustainability at all levels. We look forward to working with Johan, Jacky and Jane as they take this work forward across the Group. Pioneers also have an eye on the bigger picture and a commitment to transform not just themselves, but also the systems in which they operate. TUI Travel have already led the industry in lobbying for progressive action on climate change and engaging with suppliers. We are excited about the prospect of ensuring that leadership is reflected across the whole Group. This should cleverly combine with TUI Travel’s commitment to setting longer term targets for their work this year. TUI Travel needs to demonstrate how its incremental targets are adding up to a step change in sustainability – not just for themselves as a business, but for the wider industry. For example, as TUI Travel continues its pioneering work on measuring socio economic benefits in destinations, how is this learning being taken to scale across the Group? The real impact will come as learning from these types of project are shared, warts and all and replicated across industry to become the norm.” Stephanie Draper Better Decisions, Real Value Tourism 2023 |
