Why implement a sustainability policy?
- Sustainability policy helps protect Icelandic nature and ensure that it remains intact for future generations.
- Travelers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their travels and are even demanding policies and certifications.
- Travelers who emphasize sustainability in their travels are more likely to visit less frequented places, outside of peak season and more than once.
- Companies that implement a sustainability policy can build a positive image and reputation with guests as well as employees and the local environment.
- Sustainability policies can lead to savings, for example through reduced energy consumption, better waste management, and more rational use of resources.
- By implementing a sustainability policy, companies demonstrate responsible practices and thus support the government's vision of Iceland as a leading country in sustainable tourism, as well as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
My area at the Tourism Training Centre
Not everyone needs to reinvent the wheel. A sustainability policy template is a good guide that managers can modify and adapt to their company.
The documents that administrators have edited and saved in their area are always accessible later to adjust and update as needed. You can also offer access to the documents in the workspace to others, either to work on them together or in case a new employee takes over from the administrator.
Finally, you can either download the finished document in PDF or save a link to the document as a web part on your website or company's intranet.
