Sustainability
We are a commercial tourism company. In cooperation with our suppliers, we make and market high-quality products for companies and tourists visiting the Netherlands. That is our raison d’être. However, we try to do this with care for people & planet.
How?
1. We have a sustainability policy which we use as a guideline for our business operations, product development and external partner relations.
2. We have appointed an internal sustainability coordinator who monitors these measures and, together with a working group, is responsible for moving towards a situation where our companies 3. have zero negative impact on people & planet.
4. We have taken measures in our internal business operations aimed at reducing all forms of environmental impact and energy consumption as far as possible and limiting waste streams.
5. We increasingly develop products that contain only components that are sustainable in themselves and that are provided by suppliers with a proven sustainability policy (recognised certified).
6. We map which suppliers have a sustainability policy and explicitly give preference to these partners, taking into account the nature, price and location of the product. This includes accommodations, transport companies, excursion companies, attractions and guide companies. (In some cases, such as transport companies, the price differences of alternative transport (electric or hydrogen) with regular transport are still such that switching is not economically feasible).
We inform and advise both suppliers and customers about our sustainability policy through website, email, socials and meetings and try to motivate and encourage where possible.
For more information, please see the sustainability policy.
Travelife engaged
We are pleased to announce that we have engaged with Travelife for Tour Operators. Travelife is an internationally recognized training, management, and certification program for sustainability in tourism. Travelife has a three-stage approach: (1) Travelife Engaged; (2) Travelife Partner and (3) Travelife Certified. We are at Stage 1: Travelife Engaged. We are working to move forward to: Stage 2 – Travelife Partner. To reach the Travelife Partner, we must meet over 100 sustainability criteria that can be grouped into five key areas: office operations, product development, working with suppliers, customer relations, and destinations. Through regular training, awareness raising among our staff and suppliers, and by implementing sustainability policies and practices, we finally aim to achieve the Travelife Certified stage, the third and highest level by 2024.
