Animal Welfare

71% of UK travellers surveyed stated they are more likely to buy holidays from travel companies that care for animals. (ComRes Survey 2017) and 66% of people said they have concerns about how animals are treated in tourism (ABTA, 2019)

7

Does your company have a commitment to safeguard the welfare and protection of animals in your supply chain?* This field is required.

YESNO

8

Why you should have an animal welfare commitment: 1. Creating an animal welfare or protection commitment and integration strategy will ensure safeguards are embedded throughout all functions of your business. 3. Necessary due diligence can protect people, animals and your company’s reputation from potential harm.

9

Does your company have specific guidance or training to help product procurement differentiate between activities which could negatively impact on animal’s welfare?* This field is required.

YESNO

10

Why your product procurement team may need support : 1. Animal welfare is a complex topic, and your product procurement team is likely to need ongoing support as issues arise. 2. Expert guidance combined with industry standards or product selection criteria to suit your brand will support your team to purchase appropriate products.

11

Does your company require animal attractions / experience suppliers to keep their animals in appropriate living conditions that fulfil their welfare needs?* This field is required.

YESNO

12

Why animal welfare by your suppliers is your business: 1. When tour operators and suppliers work together, your customers can have meaningful, rewarding experiences and standards of animal welfare and customer health and safety can be upheld. 2. This approach guarantees longer-term business success, improved standards in animal care across the industry and strengthened partnerships between tour operators and their animal-based attractions.

13

Biodiversity ProtectionAll life depends on nature. We rely on biodiversity and the ecosystems it supports for food, water, clean air, energy, medicines, climate regulation and of course it's natural beauty to enjoy.

14

Does your company publicly communicate the importance of biodiversity protection and restoration as a solution to climate change?* This field is required.

YESNO

15

Why we should strengthen nature to lessen climate change: 1. Leading climate and biodiversity scientists (IPCC & IPBES) recognise that climate change and biodiversity loss are twin crises that should be tackled together. 2. Working with nature to conserve, manage and restore ecosystems (nature-based solutions) is one of the most cost-effective approaches to both mitigating and adapting to climate change.

16

If you are informed of / become aware of biodiversity loss or habitat degradation at one of your product locations do you...* This field is required.

Communicate this information to all relevant internal stakeholders such as sales; marketing and product procurement

Communicate this information to all relevant external stakeholders such as activity /experience suppliers; the DMC

Communicate this to your customers

Report it to the local or national authorities

Consult a biodiversity expert

Immediately stop sale, or de-list the animal attraction / experience supplier

Adapt the activity / experience / product to minimise the impact on biodiversity

Do nothing

17

What to do if your company's (or supplier's) operations or activities cause biodiversity loss or habitat damage:1. If negative impact is identified, detrimental practices must be avoided or ideally, mitigated, to ensure bad practice is removed.

18

Do you include educational talks about biodiversity or habitat protection from local experts in your tours / experiences? * This field is required.

YESNO

19

Why you should include talks on biodiversity protection from local experts:1. Incorporating opportunities for your customers to understand and engage with ‘conservation in action’ will not only ensure meaningful and rewarding experiences in your holidays, but also instill the importance of biodiversity and nature protection. 2. Local experts can offer unique, authentic insight and collaboration can help build productive relationships whilst also supporting the communities they live in.

20

Sustainable consumptionPromoting sustainable consumption is equally important to limit negative environmental (pollution, waste, resource use) and social (health, welfare) impact as well as to provide markets for sustainable products.

21

Does your company have an implementation plan / framework to integrate your sustainable consumption and practice commitment into your operations and activities?* This field is required.

Yes, our company has a sustainability integration framework

Yes, our company has adopted a sustainability integration framework with a defined action plan

Yes, there is department-specific guidance on how to integrate our sustainability commitment

Our company has sustainability commitments, but there is not an integration plan or framework

22

Benefits of a sustainable consumption plan:1. It helps safeguard vital natural resources and ecosystem services across all your operations and activities - ensuring we do not take more from nature than it is able to supply. 2. Sustainable Consumption and Production is about systemic change, decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation and applying a lifecycle thinking approach that takes into account all phases of resource use in order to do more and better with less.

23

Has your company publicly committed to combating illegal wildlife trade?* This field is required.

YESNO

24

Why and how to help combat illegal wildlife trade:1. The unsustainable trade in wildlife, particularly animals and plants categorised as Threatened, is a significant driver of biodiversity loss and habitat degradation. 2. Numerous initiatives provide guidance on how to curb illegal wildlife trade, whilst the World Travel & Tourism Council’s (WTTC) Buenos Aires Declaration on Illegal Wildlife Trade sets out clear targets and guidance for the Travel & Tourism sector.

25

Do you conduct an audit of your activity / experience suppliers to establish their understanding and ability to comply with your sustainability requirements?* This field is required.

YESNO

26

How to ensure you and your activity suppliers are on the same page:1. The only viable way to ensure your suppliers are operating within your sustainability requirements is to undertake an evidence-based audit. 2. Shortfalls can then be easily identified, prioritised and addressed.

27

Community EngagementCommunity-based conservation is the future of biodiversity protection. Combining conservation know-how with local knowledge and guardianship is a low-cost nature-based solution with proven long-term positive impact that benefits and empowers local communities.

28

Does your company provide monetary or in-kind support to community-based projects that seek to protect areas of high biodiversity value, fragile habitats, or threatened / protected species?* This field is required.

YESNO

29

Why you should support community-based projects:1. Investing in community-based animal and nature protection will not only benefit and empower local people, but also better protect animals and nature for the long-term. 2. It also encourages people to live in harmony with nature.

30

Does your company provide internal explanation of your community engagement commitment to facilitate its integration throughout the functions of the business? * This field is required.

YESNO

31

Why you need to communicate your community engagement commitment across your business:1. There will be a more unified cross department approach with greater understanding and respect for local people in the destinations you visit or operate in. 2. It demonstrates that local community opinion matters to your business and that good tourism brings mutual benefit and minimal impact.

32

Does your company undertake an annual internal review for each community-based animal protection project to ensure goals have been achieved? * This field is required.

YESNO

33

Benefits of annual reviews of community-based projects:1. Supporting community-based animal and nature protection projects does not guarantee an effective delivery and may cause more harm than good. 2. Reviews help ensure that the projects that your company supports fulfill the agreed objectives and meet your animal welfare and sustainability commitments.
