SUSTAINABILITY HEROES

González Byass: Five Plus Five – Constancy & Commitment to Sustainability

Recipients of the prestigious accolades will now be able to showcase their ‘Sustainability Hero’ and ‘Sustainability Trailblazer’ logos, which offer essential recognition to those companies that have worked hard to define more environmentally conscious approaches at the same time as acting as a mark of confidence for travelling consumers.

This year’s Sustainability Pitch sessions were assessed by 21 ‘Sustainability Guardians’, each of which was tasked with evaluating each pitch based on specific guidelines, such as the initiative’s impact on the environment, corporate approach to sustainability, and consumer reaction.

Each pitch was scrutinised during a quick-fire Q&A session between the Guardians and pitching company.

TRBusiness would once again like to extend its huge congratulations to all pitch participants for their involvement in the Sustainability Pitch, which is designed to give companies a unique opportunity to showcase their sustainable products, services and/or corporate sustainability strategies.

A particular thank you also goes to all of our Sustainability Guardians, pitch partner companies, premium partners and viewers for tuning in for the first Sustainability Pitch session of the second annual Travel Retail Sustainability Week.
