The key to ESG criteria in the tourism industry

13-02-23

ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria are gaining in importance. Companies can no longer escape their application by taking refuge in greenwashing, given that last November the European Parliament approved the new directive on sustainability, obliging them to disclose information on the effect of their activity on people and the environment.

The race for sustainability has accelerated within companies, including those operating in the tourism industry. According to GlobalData, ESG criteria were the most frequently mentioned topic until June 2022 by this type of business, ranking as a more pressing issue than COVID-19 or the war in Ukraine.
