Social and corporate responsibility: A force for good in travel and tourism

Hosted by STRz editor Paul Stevens
Sponsored by Key Data and Lodgify
As much as the travel and hospitality industries provide noticeable benefits to communities in terms of employment and income for the businesses and local tourism economies, firms in these sectors have often been accused of neglecting their social and corporate responsibilities at a time when everyone is increasingly conscious of fulfilling their ESG [Environmental, Social, Governance] commitments. In this webinar, we will dissect these claims and address the ‘elephant in the room’, as well as highlighting the individuals and businesses who want to counter this narrative through philanthropic and sustainable initiatives, while providing advice to other industry leaders how they can follow the same path.
