Our people are vital to achieving our sustainable development goals. Responses to our internal surveys show us that our colleagues are motivated by knowledge of our commitment to sustainable development and that our record in this area is becoming increasingly important to recruitment and retention.
Goal: All our colleagues – especially those with direct responsibility for sustainability – will understand the basics of sustainable development, be internal and external ambassadors for TUI Travel’s activities, and have the capacity to play their part.
Board sponsor: Bill Logan, Group HR Director
