***Hugely important opportunity*** for travel companies to get involved in a UN Tourism and The Oxford SDG Impact Lab initiative we are supporting, to develop a harmonised global ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) framework. This is your opportunity to inform the findings by being part of the research phase (involving brief interviews, surveys & field visits) in July/August. Many of our industry contacts have been calling for a global framework, to enable better comparisons and monitoring of progress, and prevent supply chain businesses from becoming overwhelmed with requests for [similar but not-quite-the-same] reporting data. So this initiative is something we should welcome and get behind.
