Corporate Social Responsibility
As a travel retail operator serving hundreds of thousands of passengers every day, we must adapt the way we do business in order to contribute to building a more sustainable industry.
In 2019, we have launched PEPS (Planet.Ethics.People.Social), a four-pillar, results-driven CSR strategy aligned to global stakes the travel retail industry is facing.
This PEPS program is at the heart of our strategy and decision-making.
Planet
We are committed to reduce our environmental footprint and increase the sustainability of our operations.

To reduce our environmental footprint and increase the sustainability of our operations, we are committed to:
- Ban non reusable plastics consumables in all group concepts by 2025
- Reduce energy consumption in all stores
- Reduce food waste by 50% by 2025
- Develop local food and products in all restaurants and stores
For example, in 2019 we implemented biodegradable packaging across our Food Service stores, beginning with Sydney. The packaging includes plastic cups, cutlery, napkins and boxes.

In order to demonstrate the highest ethical standards, we are committed to:
- Develop responsible products in our stores & restaurants (e.g. our global commitment to use 100% cage-free eggs by 2025, which we achieved in the Pacific in 2018)
- Implement an anti-bribery mechanism in all our subsidiaries by 2022
- Ensure the data protection of our customers and employees
For example, we are supporting local economies and local producers to scale up their operations and introduce their products into our stores.
