The world and the people living in it are subjected to significant
change: Poverty in developing countries, globalisation,
climate change and natural resources scarcity are essential
challenges for society and also for companies. Kuoni is aware
of its responsibility and takes an active part in the design of a
sustainable development within its sphere of influence.
We ask ourselves how we can assume our Social Responsibility.
Our strategic approach in Corporate Responsibility (CR) is
to integrate social and ecological issues in business processes
and so contribute to economic success in the long term. As a
company acting responsibly we take up opportunities to actively
participate in those areas concerning our stakeholders – including
our employees, business partners, customers, investors, nongovernmental
organisations and local people at the destinations.
In the context of responsible corporate management we identify
the CR fields of activity relevant for us. We set targets and
consistently expedite their implementation. Considering the
constant change in the business environment it is important
to recognise new challenges early and respectively develop
a range of actions. We thus minimise risks and discover new
opportunities via CR. In the future we would like to deploy our
expertise in sustainability even more systematically in order to
open up and utilise opportunities for our businesses.

For more than a century, Kuoni has sought to create perfect
moments for its customers. We take people to inspiring
landscapes where they connect with unique cultures and
leave with fresh perspectives. Our journeys are created
with the same passion and authenticity as a work of art.
And art is awareness.
Marie Velardi’s Atlas des îles perdues, featured throughout the
Kuoni Corporate Responsibility Report, depicts islands that,
according to the latest projections of sea-level rise, could sink
into the ocean by 2107. Marie illustrates the stark reality of a
future that may await us if we do nothing against climate change.
However, as one of the world’s leading globally-active leisure
and destination management travel organisations, we are fully
aware that our core business can have negative impacts on
the environment and on the destinations we go to. Thus we
are committed to minimise and mitigate these impacts – and
to enhance the positive benefits – so that future generations
can embark on their own journeys to the many islands
currently at risk. We have endeavoured to integrate Corporate
Responsibility as a cornerstone in our corporate strategy and
hold ourselves to the highest standards, so that our economic,
ecological and social resources are not diminished for future
generations.
