Holiday better

Nothing beats the excitement of touching down somewhere special. And if you’re keen to hear how we’re working to make our holidays a force for good, then you’ve landed in the right place.

We were delighted that our efforts so far have resulted in a Sustainable Future Award at the 2023 Travel Weekly Globe Awards, but know we still have a huge part to play in driving meaningful change. Read on for more details of what we’re doing to work towards our sustainability goals...

Our Mission

We want to make a positive impact on the environment and local communities that make our holidays so special. We’re always passionate about providing incredible value for money to our customers, which is why we have the aspiration to make it possible for more sustainable holidays to be the mainstream. 

To help us think about what sustainable tourism means, we turned to our friends at United Nations Tourism:

“Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities.”

So, at easyJet holidays we think about the economic, social and environmental impacts that our holidays have on our destinations – the good, and the not so good, and we also tie what we’re doing back to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Create Better Holiday Choices
We want to make more sustainable travel affordable and available to everyone - that’s our ambition. So, we’re working hard to support our hotel partners in achieving a GSTC recognised or equivalent certification and communicating this, and the work our destination partners are carrying out, so that it’s clear to our customers where they can make better holiday choices at no extra cost.
Keep our holidays special
We want to keep our holidays special by maximising the benefits and minimising the negative impacts they have. For us, this means supporting locally owned businesses and communities with initiatives, which help ensure our holidays are not only a brilliant experience for our customers, but also benefit those that make our holidays so special.
Transform travel for everyone
We have an ambition to build sustainability into the very fabric of our business, which is why we’ve introduced company-wide strategic targets, and have representation from all teams on our internal Sustainability Action Group. We’re confident in the power of our brand to help drive industry wide change, so we’re ensuring our priorities work towards solutions to the biggest issues and challenge the status quo to ask better of ourselves and our partners in our supply chain.

Our Approach

Our approach is to fund, support, and partner with organisations and individuals who are making significant progress towards making sustainable holidays mainstream. We connect the scale, industry experience, and economic weight of the easyJet group to the problem solving abilities, expertise, and research prowess of others. It’s a winning combination, and has helped us make great progress so far.

UN Tourism

UN Tourism is the United Nations agency responsible for the promotion of responsible, sustainable, and universally accessible tourism. As the leading international organisation in this field, the UN Tourism promotes tourism as a driver of economic growth, inclusive development, and environmental sustainability, and offers leadership and support to the sector in advancing knowledge and tourism policies worldwide. So, we’re delighted to be working together to introduce a tourism specific ESG framework.

Our work

While our airline focuses on reducing the negative effects of flying by reducing carbon emissions and exploring zero carbon emission solutions, our focus is on our destinations and the people and places that make our holidays so special.

  • Providing GSTC training

    We know many of our hotel partners want to run their properties more sustainably, and we’re keen to support them on their journey to earn sustainability certifications. It’s for this reason that we’ve joined forces with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) to offer a group of our hotel partners in Spain, Greece, and Turkey the chance to complete the GSTC Sustainable Tourism Course.
