The Kratons´way
An agenda for 2030
Kratons has adhered to these goals, incorporating them into its business strategy. The Sustainable Development Goals are now the compass that point us in the right direction.
Our efforts
Travelers
Responsible travel can often save money. However, sometimes working for a better planet comes at a price. We work closely with our travellers to offer the most sustainable option for their budget.
Upon request, we can send you a short summary of sustainability for your trip. This paragraph informs our travelers about the general impact of their trip, as well as possible alternatives to make their tour more responsible.
We always go the extra mile to make our tours as responsible as possible. However, certain activities such as travelling by plane may negatively affect our planet. For those cases we work with local organizations to compensate the carbon emissions of our travellers who decide to do so.
Providers
Providers are the cornerstone for responsible travel. We evaluate and classify our providers based on their sustainability efforts. We then incorporate this information into our database of providers, which allow us to be fast and efficient in finding the most responsible option for your budget.
We are committed to making a positive impact throughout the whole value chain. This commitment requires our providers and partners to engage with our code of conduct. Throughout a continuous one-to-one dialogue, Kratons coaches its providers in their transition to a more sustainable business model.
In Kratons, we believe in the power of collaboration. We have established partnerships with other destination agencies specialized in responsible travel. These partners help us to provide the best services in those destinations in which we are not specialists.
Our team
We are convinced that leading by example is the best strategy to engage travellers and providers on our sustainability efforts. For that we have created a sustainability team (the green team) that raises awareness among our employees and propose actions on internal sustainability. Employees engaging one another has proven more effective than memos from the top. The green team has generated policies on energy-efficiency, health, recycling, natural light maximization, going paperless, telework, etc.
We acknowledge our limits and seek to improve our sustainability efforts. To get better at this we need to continuously learn and evaluate our actions. Our employees are encouraged to join workshops on responsible travel and sustainability. By the end of the year we evaluate our past actions to make sure we are advancing on our sustainability goals.
Inclusion makes us stronger. As an equal opportunity employer, Kratons does not discriminate against applicants or employees based on race, sex, sexual orientation, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, creed, religion, age, military status, pregnancy, disability or genetic information. Recruitment, selection, development and advancement of employees are based on merit, qualifications, demonstrated skill and achievements. In our recruitment processes, we always encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply.
We are very proud of our results so far. Equal pay and equal representation of men and women on management positions are the outcome of our zero-discrimination policy.
