ABTA and Deloitte launch climate change initiative
ABTA has teamed up with Deloitte for a new project to help advance the industry’s understanding of climate change.
It will explore the impact it will have on travel businesses and the actions needed to reduce global emissions.
Over the next year ABTA and Deloitte will be collaborating on a range of activities that will help ABTA members understand climate change, what decarbonisation looks like across the industry – for hotels, aviation, cruise, ground transport and tourist destinations, and how their businesses can deliver meaningful change.
Together ABTA and Deloitte will engage senior leaders from ABTA member travel companies on climate change and provide support to develop meaningful responses.
The project will build on the work from ABTA’s Tourism for Good report.
The project was launched at ABTA’s Decarbonising Tourism event this week.
Mark Tanzer, Chief Executive of ABTA said: “Climate change is a global threat and the travel industry, along with all other businesses and government, has an important role to play. We have seen some good progress in recent years but that work needs to be scaled up and continue as a matter of urgency.”
“Through this collaboration we want to further develop the industry’s understanding of climate change and engage senior leaders in what they need to be thinking about for their businesses.”
Alistair Pritchard, Lead Partner for Travel & Aviation at Deloitte said: “Our collaboration will involve bringing greater clarity for the sector on the changes required to help business leaders plot their course to a more sustainable future.”
