EasyJet Holidays latest Impact Report has revealed that it has achieved a 65 per cent increase in certified sustainable hotels and continued investment in lower-carbon initiatives.

More than 2,800 properties in its portfolio now hold internationally recognised sustainability certifications, and certification has been prioritised to have the greatest local impact. Following the successful launch of electric vehicle transfers in Rhodes last year, the company has also expanded the initiative into new destinations including Antalya, Turkey with more than 11,000 customers having now used electric transfers.

Building on growing customer demand to reduce single-use plastics, EasyJet Holidays has expanded its work with hotel partners in Menorca, with four hotels and chains having undergone certification processes and over 50kg of plastic waste avoided and more than 100 plastic-free alternatives introduced.

Garry Wilson, CEO of EasyJet Holidays, said: “As a mainstream tour operator, we have both the responsibility and the opportunity to help shape the future of travel. This year’s Impact Report highlights the progress we’re making and, for the first time, helps quantify the wider contribution of our holidays through our partnership with Oxford Economics.”

The report also highlights easyJet Holidays’ continued collaboration with global organisations, including its partnership with UN Tourism to create the first environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework for businesses in the tourism industry.
