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
