CASE STUDIES
Managing risk associated with animal activities with Collette
“Our guests trust us to make the best decisions about who we work with and what types of products and services we purchase. Animal welfare is important to us, and our product offerings need to relate to these values. It was important to us to work with experts who could review all of our offerings, give us thorough research, and help us determine whether our vendors met our expectations. That’s why we chose to work with ANIMONDIAL because we were confident that we will be empowered to make the right decisions.”
– John W. Sutherland, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility, Collette

WHY TRANSFORM?
Once you have identified your nature-related risks and impacts and prioritised your mitigating actions, you need to move towards eliminating your negative impacts on nature. These efforts should particularly apply to your indirect operations, or supply chain, in your main destinations and particularly those with the greatest biodiversity value. Where opportunities for mitigation are limited – for instance in air travel – greater efforts must be applied elsewhere to compensate.
- Generate measurable impacts to meet your strategic targets, fulfil reporting and disclosure requirements and produce inspiring communications content.
- Back up environmental claims to avoid reputational damage from greenwashing allegations.
- Ensure that animals affected by your operations or supply chain do not experience unnecessary suffering.
- Make a meaningful contribution to the UN Biodiversity Plan global goal to halt and reduce biodiversity loss.
