Well that’s Christmas out of the way! The next thing you need to do is to go on your holidays – Yay!
In-between polishing off the last of the mince pies and renewing his gym membership, our Travel editor has found the time to look at some of the great travel holidays there are out there for you to go on this year in 2014.
So, because of all this climate change and that, I thought I’d take a look at some of the responsible, sustainable holidays that you can go on out there. Here’s my top 5.
1. Everybody is getting in on the travel and tourism act these days, and shoe giants NIKE are no exception.
“NIKE offer a journey of many dimensions. Every partner, every decision, every gateway, every stage from concept to reclamation adds to a near infinite ecosystem of cause and effect. To offer as much clarity into this ecosystem as possible, we’ve distilled it down to seven fundamental stages – Plan, Design, Make, Move, Sell, Use, Reuse.
We believe these stages provide the best way to track, measure and report where we have influence, compared to where we have control, and how the decisions we make have impacts in terms of energy and climate labor, labor, chemistry, water, waste, and community.”
2. This Thomson Reuters package sounds refreshing. Corporate Responsibility is an all too often overlooked destination and previous operators who have offered this service have been really childish in their approach. They say they aim to provide,
“A journey to having a more sophisticated and mature approach to corporate responsibility”
3. This year, Accenture are pushing their themed holiday package to the mythical land of Corporate Citizenship. Leave your sense of disbelief at home and just go with it!
“With our core values at its heart, corporate citizenship is an ongoing journey for Accenture— and we are committed to making a sustainable, measurable difference to the world in which we work and live.”
4. One for the retired Baby-boomers that there are out there: Ford Motor Company’s travel schedule demands time and commitment – for the serious traveller only.
“we continued to go further on our sustainability journey, which began more than a dozen years ago.”
5. Fleishman Hillard offer exotic locations:
“A CORPORATE JOURNEY TO TRUTH, TRUST AND TWO-WAY CONVERSATIONS.”
Well, it just goes to show there’s something out there for everyone when you look on the internet!
Finally, It’s also worth bearing in mind this sage piece of advice from a friend of mine on Facebook, “When you start the journey going forward to Winning,never let doubters change your mind and make you walk back to Losing.” – He got 3 likes for that!
