SUSTAINABILITY
Mission
Since 1932, we have been delivering authentic and sustainable experiences that celebrate Italian destinations, creating a positive impact on the environment and local communities. We connect travelers to the beauty of our territory, turning every journey into a tribute to Italy’s cultural and identity heritage.
Our approach
to sustainability
Today, we fully integrate ESG principles — Environmental, Social, Governance — as a driver of value, competitiveness, and resilience, in line with the international standards of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and the Travelife program.
For Aloschi Bros, sustainability is not a standalone initiative, but a guiding principle that shapes every operational, strategic, and organizational decision.
In recent years, we have embarked on a structured journey to embed sustainability into our business model, transforming processes, relationships, and operating methods to ensure ethical, inclusive, and low-impact practices across the entire value chain.
We are developing internal sustainability roles and have established a Sustainability Committee responsible for defining, monitoring, and communicating objectives and actions aligned with:
- GSTC standards
- United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- ESG principles applied to inbound tourism and the cruise industry
Integrity and Responsible Governance
We have implemented internal control procedures, digital tools, and traceability processes to ensure fairness, reliability, and integrity in all company activities.
We promote a culture rooted in ethics and responsibility through continuous training programs focused on:
- ethical conduct
- anti-corruption
- conflict of interest management
Our goal is to involve at least 100% of employees by 2027, strengthening a solid, transparent, and informed governance framework.
Value for people
People are at the core of our development model. We foster a fair, inclusive, and well-being-oriented work environment, enhancing skills, diversity, and professional growth.
Our commitments include:
- increasing female representation in leadership roles
- structured training and development pathways
- developing corporate well-being initiatives based on WHP protocols
Value for the environment
We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our activities and promoting responsible behaviors throughout the tourism value chain.
Our actions include:
- measuring CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2)
- initiating Scope 3 emissions measurement by 2028
- reducing paper and toner consumption by 50% by 2026
- recycling and reuse programs for materials, equipment, and WEEE
- environmental awareness campaigns for employees
We actively collaborate with partners and stakeholders to share common environmental standards and amplify the positive impact of our initiatives.
Value for communities and territories
Being sustainable also means preserving the values of the territories in which we operate. We support social responsibility projects aimed at reducing economic, cultural, and social inequalities, fostering local development and community cohesion.
Each year, we contribute to projects dedicated to local communities, working alongside organizations, associations, and institutions.
We also participate in national and international networks that promote an inclusive and sustainable vision of tourism, encouraging the spread of ESG culture throughout the entire supply chain.
Sustainability is a core value for Aloschi Bros and guides every decision we make. We promote responsible tourism that protects the environment, enhances local communities, and generates lasting benefits for destinations. We reduce the environmental impact of our activities by encouraging soft mobility, selecting partners with sustainable approaches, and raising travelers’ awareness of responsible behaviors.
For us, sustainability also means respect for people. We ensure fair, inclusive, and well-being-oriented working conditions, promoting work–life balance and protecting workers’ rights.
We operate according to principles of transparency, integrity, and accountability, strengthening internal control systems and adopting governance practices inspired by the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Our policies align with GSTC standards and leading international sustainability criteria in tourism.
Unite for Impact: Our Sustainable Journey Ahead
Dear Stakeholders,
we continue our journey of responsible growth toward greater transparency and shared value creation.
In 2026, we will present the Aloschi Bros Sustainability Report, prepared on a voluntary basis and referring to the 2025 fiscal year — a pivotal year in which we accelerated the integration of sustainability principles into our governance model, operational strategies, and relationships with local territories.
Our commitment is grounded in the principles of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, which recognizes the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a shared responsibility among institutions, businesses, investors, and civil society.
Within this framework, our strategy strengthens its focus on:
- responsible and transparent governance
- people empowerment
- positive impact on communities and territories
- reduction of environmental impacts across the value chain
We are aware that our role goes beyond that of economic operators. For this reason, we invite all our stakeholders to learn about, share, and uphold our Code of Ethics and Corporate Policies — essential tools for spreading a culture of integrity, responsibility, and respect throughout our entire ecosystem.
Your involvement is essential to making this commitment tangible and measurable. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
