Environmental Responsibility
We are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our global business operations and to promoting sustainable business practices in travel and tourism through our sustainability initiatives focused on:
- Reducing our own environmental footprint, including reducing our waste by 80%
- Promoting sustainable business practices within the travel industry,
- Offering our customers products and services that will help them promote sustainable travel.
Reducing our Footprint
We were one of the first companies in any industry to design and build a LEED campus as our corporate headquarters and we continue to incorporate sustainable business practices into our operations. These include the use of low-energy fluorescent lighting; low- or no-water appliances; low-water, all-organic, native landscaping; and broad use of recycled materials in our buildings.
Promoting Sustainable Business Practices
We believe in being leaders within our industry and we're proud to say we were a founding member of the Tourism Sustainability Council, which is working hard to encourage a more sustainable future for the travel industry.
Products and Services
From flagging eco-friendly hotels site-wide with our Green Hotel Directory
to developing software that helps airlines fly fuel-conserving routes, we're building products and services that help
our customers make more sustainable travel decisions.
