Our global sustainability program, Sail & Sustain, is centered around our commitment to drive a positive impact on society and the environment while delivering on our vision to be the vacation of choice for everyone around the world. We visit nearly 500 destinations globally, allowing our guests to travel and explore the world, and our business is inextricably linked to the preservation of our planet and the protection of our shared resources.
Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy is focused on five pillars and was developed through cross-functional collaboration with key internal and external stakeholders. As we continue our ESG journey, we look forward to building upon this foundation and meaningfully contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as we collectively chart a path towards a more sustainable future.
The future of our business is closely intertwined with the health of our oceans and the destinations we visit, and environmentally friendly practices allow our business to thrive. We are committed to addressing climate change and doing our part to protect and preserve the environment.
The health, safety and well-being of our guests and crew is our highest priority, not only onboard our ships, but also at every destination we visit. We take great effort to maintain a healthy, safe and clean environment and have a stringent 24/7/365 public health and safety compliance culture.
We believe people are our most important resource and we have an ongoing commitment to maintain a safe, diverse and inclusive culture that supports and empowers our team members.
Dedication to Family and Community is one of our core values and we are committed to strengthening our local communities, the communities we visit and the local ecosystems through which we cruise. We believe it is our responsibility and privilege to give back to the communities around the world where we live, work, visit and serve.
We have a strong corporate governance system in place to provide high standards of transparency and accountability and strive to be a leader in ethics and responsible business practices.
We continuously seek and invest in new technologies and innovations that will allow us to improve our environmental performance, both for our existing fleet and the new ships we have on order.
Our Eco-Connect Tours provide enriching opportunities to interact with and learn from local communities around the world as they work to conserve and sustain their surrounding environments.
