  3. We believe in Corporate Responsibility • It is our conviction • Our customers like it • Our employees feel proud about it - and we want the best! • Investors start to ask questions - and look for ethical investments • Analysts pick it up - and rank the “best in class” • We prevent reputation risks - and risk management is a must! • We preserve our destinations – such as the Maldives or Myanmar • It offers additional opportunities - e.g. new products and markets • It loads our brands - with values like trust, respect, honesty, responsibility…

  4. What is Corporate Responsibility? • It is our way to deal with the critical and controversial side effects of our business, enhancing positive impacts of tourism and minimizing negative impacts on people and destinations • It is a comprehensive program and it addresses all aspects, including ethical, social and ecological dimensions and, last but not least, communication • As the program is in line with our aspirations and brand values we load our brands and increase the brand premium

  5. How did we choose the topics? • All issues are close to tourism and our core business • The issues are on the public agenda of NGOs and media dealing with tourism • They are burning ones • They are emotional and tangible • Their communication is clear • They are in line with our brand values • There is a big risk of reputation damage if we do not tackle them

  6. Our 4 Corporate Responsibility priorities for the coming years • child protection from sex industry in tourismwe do not do business at the cost of the weakest • working conditions in tourismwe have respect for the people we work with • water competition at destinationswe work fairly: from charity to justice • Mitigation of climate change consequenceswe protect and sustain destinations

  7. Child protection from sex industry in tourism • 2 million children are exploited • This is fueled by tourism and the tourist infrastructure is abused • Commitment to “the Code” on behalf of the whole Group: information, training, prevention • Flyer to sensitize customers • Contract clause • Workshops for hotels (Thailand, Dom Rep) • Workshops children at risk

  8. Working conditions in tourism • 250 million people work for tourism • Problems: low salaries, overtime, discrimination and child labor • Implement suppliers’ requirements in contracts • Professional training(schools in India, Kenya, Cambodia, Dom Rep, Myanmar)

  9. Water competition at destinations • 440 liters of water per tourist and day • A golf course consumes 2 million liters a day • Wastewater in the sea • Water dams in the hills of Mombasa
