TRBusiness is delighted to present the second annual edition of the Sustainability Issue – an entire magazine that delves into the ways in which the duty free and travel retail industry is working towards a greener future. 

This special edition provides stakeholders with a vital platform to share their latest news and views, including key milestones reached as well as challenges on the radar.

It’s a welcome chance for those leading the charge to talk in detail about the strategies that are working, to shine a light on the action that needs to be taken, and how the industry as a whole can work better together to help make an impact.

A sentiment that has stood out in conversations with stakeholders for this issue is that you don’t have to wait until things are perfect to speak up about the contribution your business is making to a more eco-friendly environment. Sharing knowledge and inspiration, including the lessons learned along the way, can prove valuable in helping the industry to grow greener overall. As many stakeholders will agree, it’s a journey after all.

Inside this issue, you can discover a wealth of in-depth written and video content from leading companies including Gebr. Heinemann, Bitmore, Mars Wrigley ITR, iCoupon, Lagardère Travel Retail, Qatar Duty Free, Loacker, ACI World, Panzerglass, Estée Lauder Companies, Travel Blue Group, Sustainaholics, Cabeau, and Brands of Style. We hope you find plenty to inspire you!

This publication coincides with the third annual TR Sustainability Week taking place this week (4-8 September 2023) – the DF&TR industry’s only event dedicated to sustainability, which boldly encompasses all aspects of CSR including diversity, equity & inclusion and health & wellbeing.
