Dufry’s ESG Strategy is an inherent part of the company strategy Destination 2027 and contributes to the delivery of its financial and non-financial goals. It is also fully aligned with the role Dufry plays in the travel retail ecosystem, and is regularly revised to ensure it remains relevant and meets the evolving needs of our industry. Our ESG engagement is focused on four key areas, where we want to have a positive impact within the scope of our stakeholder eco-system and beyond: customer experience; employee wellbeing and advancement; protecting the environment through the responsible use of our planet’s resources and being a trusted partner for all our stakeholders.
Dufry's ESG Strategy is supervised by the Board of Directors, specifically by the Nomination and ESG Committee, chaired by the Lead Independent Director. All key business areas of the Group – structured under a dedicated ESG committee – take an active role in implementing our strategy based on clearly defined objectives. A detailed description of our ESG Strategy is available here.
During 2022, Dufry has continued evolving its ESG commitment, taking a leading position in ESG in our industry. Dufry's ESG developments and ethics are widely recognized across the main players of our business environment. Our strong commitments – such as the establishment of emission reductions targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the preparation of a TCFD Report, or our commitment towards protecting Human Rights as signatory member of the UN Global Compact – are strong testimonials of the importance Dufry places to ESG. We are not alone in our journey towards building a more sustainable industry, and in this regard, we share common objectives with our main stakeholders, especially airport concession and brand partners, as reflected in our ESG report 2022.
