"Guests expect everyone to be offering a sustainable holiday so they don't think that they should be paying more for it"
As we reach peak holiday season, join Eleni Andreadis, ESG Executive Director of Sani Ikos resorts group as she describes their 15 year journey to fully embed ESG principles and actions across 12 resorts in Greece and Spain with over 7000 employees, to become the exemplar for sustainability in tourism. Eleni also describes the other hats she juggles, including NGO Planet Agents, which delivers engaging environmental education each year to over 12,000 school children and writing 11 children's books - so far! Topics discussed include:
- Transforming Sani Resort into the first carbon neutral resort in Greece, with 100% certified renewable electricity
- Managing ESG around 3 pillars of Environmental, Social and Economic Sustainability with over 100 performance KPIs.
- How to embed ways to engage guests with local communities combining inclusive economic stimulation with environmental education
- How to keep children holistically engaged into their teenage years to transform their physical and mental wellbeing
- How working with SBTI (The Science Based Targets Initiative) as an optimal interim approach to mitigating carbon versus that accrued by travelling guests.
- Why any organisation not fully engaging in sustainability is missing out on multiple fronts and faces existential risks
- Working with the Forest Research Institute to calculate and bolster carbon sink capacity
- Bringing back Bee hives to Parnitha, recently devastated by wild fires to release and care for the Bees to enable millions to bring new life back into the forests
- How to minimise your personal footprint and to choose holiday packages mindfully
- Why we should let our kids roam free and get lost together in forests and the countryside - and more!
