Hotel Tip

The memorable Hawk Walk at Ireland School of Falconry is an activity you simply can't do at home & one that will have you wanting your own hawk when you're done. –Paula Iwanski Orlando, Florida

    Sustainability

    Our Commitment

    In 2020 we launched a five year sustainability strategy designed to tackle 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations that we can have the biggest impact on as a business. The 11 goals of the strategy are directly linked to the SDGs they advance and aligned to the three pillars of TreadRight: People, Planet, Wildlife.

    We are only two years into our journey and we have already reduced food waste by 34%, increased our use of local and organic produce by 27%, put a stop to printed brochures, eliminated 90% of single-use plastics within our operations, launched 'Make Travel Matter Experiences': meaningful experiences that are designed to benefit the host as well as the guest. We've also established partnerships that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion to broaden our talent pool, further grow diversity within our workforce, and ensure we provide an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for employees and visitors. An inhouse diversity and inclusion network provides a resource and a safe space for support, creativity, and collaboration, and all employees are provided two paid days per year to volunteer within the community.

    Sustainability is part of our identity and our journey isn't over. The launch of the Travel Corporation's Carbon Fund will also provide tangible solutions towards our net zero targets - verified by the Science Based Targets Initiative.
