We’re determined to deliver on our pledges, and we look forward to working with others in the industry to bring about change.”
Calling its strategy “doing the right thing,” the company is focusing its efforts in four areas – sustainability, carbon footprint, ethical operations and charity. Among the pledges made by Riviera Travel as part of the strategy are:
