Oliva Cigar Company achieves FSC Chain of Custody certification

Oliva Cigar FSC chain of custody certification

The FSC initiative forms just one part of Oliva’s broader sustainability strategy.

Oliva Cigar Company has announced that its cigar boxes are now produced entirely using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified wood – making it the first cigar manufacturer to achieve FSC Chain of Custody certification.

The milestone underscores Oliva’s long-term commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and social accountability across its operations.

“This certification is not only about materials – it’s about a philosophy,” noted CEO Cory Bappert. “It ensures that all of the wood used in our boxes comes from responsible sources that support reforestation, biodiversity, workplace safety, and fair labour standards.”

The FSC Chain of Custody certification confirms that every stage of Oliva’s box production, from sourcing to finishing, follows rigourous sustainability protocols.

Oliva underlines sustainability commitment

The achievement caps a four-year company-wide project that involved developing new manuals, training employees across all departments, and expanding staffing to ensure standards were met consistently.

While certification marks a major step forward, Oliva said it viewed sustainability as an ongoing daily commitment. Each shipment of certified material will continue to be independently verified, ensuring that no uncertified wood enters the production process.

“The certification assessed our ability,” explained Director of Logistics and Product Regulations Bernie Rodriguez. “Now we are judged every day on how well we live up to it.”

At its Hacienda de Ernesto facility, Oliva develops its own seed varieties, to improve resistance and reduce pesticide use, protecting both the environment and the final product.

The FSC initiative forms just one part of Oliva’s broader sustainability strategy, which extends from the soil to the finished cigar. For more than five years, the company has operated a nursery outside Condega, Nicaragua, cultivating trees and plants for reforestation projects on its farms. It has also donated thousands of seedlings each year to schools and national programmes.

At its Hacienda de Ernesto facility, Oliva develops its own seed varieties, to improve resistance and reduce pesticide use, protecting both the environment and the final product. In addition, Oliva has adopted advanced Cuban soil-cutting techniques to minimise the disruption of natural biodiversity. The company has also established a circular farming system that closes the loop between factory and farm.

“Sustainability is not a campaign – it’s a way of thinking,” concluded Fred Vandermarliere, owner of Vandermarliere Cigar Family (VCF), Oliva’s parent company. “At Oliva, we understand that the only way to build a lasting legacy is to grow responsibly, give back to the land, and create cigars with integrity.”

London Luton Airport opens its new assisted travel lounge

The airport currently fulfils more than 700 pre-booked requested for its assisted travel service each day.

London Luton Airport (LLA) has opened its new Assisted Travel lounge. The new airside facility can accommodate up to 50 passengers and is designed to provide a comfortable, relaxing and dedicated space for passengers with assisted travel needs.

Key features of the assisted travel lounge include a sensory space, adult changing facilities, flight information screens, charging points for wheelchairs and electronic devices, drinking water facilities and specialised seating for passengers with mobility challenges.

The opening of the lounge follows the confirmation in June 2025 that LLA had received the highest rating of ‘Very Good’ from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for its service to passengers with reduced mobility and those who require assisted travel.

Alberto Martin, Chief Executive Officer at London Luton Airport, said: “We are delighted to offer this wonderful new space for passengers with assisted travel needs. This is a hugely important investment that underlines London Luton Airport’s ongoing commitment to deliver a simple and friendly passenger experience that is safe, accessible and inclusive for all.

Throughout the design process, we consulted regularly with the passengers, charities and support groups that make up the membership of the London Luton Airport Accessibility Forum, and we are thrilled with the outcome – a welcoming and accessible space for assisted travel passengers to enjoy ahead of their flights.”

Andrew Wright, Chair of London Luton Airport Accessibility Forum (LLAAF) commented: “The Assisted Travel Lounge provides those passengers who use LLA’s Assisted Travel services with a spacious, bright and purpose-built space which is also ideally positioned for the airport’s broader amenities.

The design and development of this impressive new facility has been largely shaped by a wish-list based on the insight, experiences and needs of LLAAF members and this project provides a perfect example of the airport’s continued collaboration with the Forum and its growing network of disability group stakeholders.”

LLA is also one of the first organisations – and the first UK airport – to achieve certification to the new BSI Kitemark for Service Excellence.

Last year, LLA recorded its highest annual Airport Service Quality (ASQ) score, with 4 out of 5 passengers rating their experience as very good/ excellent.

This commitment to passenger experience has led to two nominations in the 2025 Customer Experience (CX) Awards: Best Customer Centric Culture award (over 500 employees); and Best Customer Experience for Vulnerable Customers.

LLA said it will be looking to emulate its success at last year’s CX Awards when the airport’s Guest Experience team was named Team of the Year (large company) and secured the Gold Award in the Best Customer Experience for Vulnerable Customers category.

LLA has also been announced as a double finalist in the inaugural Travel for Every Body Awards.

The airport is shortlisted in the Outstanding Contribution to Accessible Travel and Accessible Travel Initiative (Transport) categories, in recognition of its successful Accessibility Familiarisation Days and its investment in the new Assisted Travel lounge.

Dubai Duty Free officially listed as first ‘Autism Certified’ airport retailer

Joining Mr. Cidambi at the awarding ceremony in September at Dubai Duty Free head office in Ramool were: Salah Tahlak, Deputy Managing Director; Mona Al Ali, Senior Vice President – Human Resources; Bianca Raubenhaimer, Key Account Manager, IBCCES; Jeff Strachan, Associate Vice President – Business Operations, Dubai College of Tourism; and Maryam Allouz, Head of Tourism Industry Support, Dubai College of Tourism.

Dubai Duty Free has officially been recognised by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), as the world’s first Autism Certified airport retailer.

The Certified Autism Center (CAC) designation, awarded by IBCCES, acknowledges the operations comprehensive staff training and commitment to providing an inclusive and more welcoming shopping environment for autistic and sensory-sensitive customers.

This milestone is part of a broader city-wide initiative that has also made Dubai a Certified Autism Destination. It also follows in the footsteps of Dubai Airports and Emirates Airlines, which became the first airport and airline, respectively, to receive this recognition.

Over 4,800 Dubai Duty Free employees across different airport concourses/terminals and back offices have successfully completed training to assist individuals on the autism spectrum, enabling them to shop more comfortably.

This was achieved with an incredible 98.76% completion rate in just 26 days.

Commenting on the recognition, Dubai Duty Free Managing Director, Ramesh Cidambi said: “It is an honour to receive this certification from IBCCES. This milestone is a testament of our commitment to delivering inclusive service to our diverse customer base. It aligns with Dubai Duty Free’s broader efforts to enhance accessibility and inclusivity across our operations.

This achievement reinforces the organisations belief that travel should be a safe and welcoming experiences for everyone.”

As part of its certification, Dubai Duty Free will be implementing comprehensive autism-friendly service practices across its retail locations that aim to support passengers and customers with autism and other hidden disabilities.

The initiative incorporates global best practices and focuses on empathy, respect, and flexibility for individuals with sensory sensitivities or developmental differences.

As part of the initiative, Dubai Duty Free has adopted the internationally recognised ‘sunflower symbol’, which identifies individuals with hidden disabilities.

“These practices are a significant step in making Dubai Duty Free a more inclusive and supportive space for all travellers. We are happy to introduce measures that not only foster awareness but also provide meaningful support to individuals and families navigating hidden disabilities,” added Cidambi.

Key features of the autism-friendly initiative include awareness and identification, transaction support, staff standards and communications and operational consistency.

As part of this initiative, Dubai Duty Free frontliners will wear sunflower pins on their uniform to signify their readiness to assist customers with hidden disabilities. Dedicated counters across retail areas will also display the sunflower symbol, providing clear visibility and easy access for those requiring extra support.

Additionally, a sensory kit will be available for travellers wearing a sunflower lanyard, which discreetly indicates the need for additional assistance. To ensure consistent implementation, each shift will have a designated ‘Autism Champion’.

Meanwhile, Dubai Duty Free will support the seventh edition of the AccessAbilities Expo as a strategic partner.

This event is the region’s premier trade; professional and consumer event dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities. It aims to provide a single platform for the entire business and civil community in the Middle East, their families and caregivers, governments and leading international technology vendors.

Coty partners with Heinemann on ‘My Fragrance Garden’ installation

My Fragrance Garden is launching from September 2025 in Copenhagen Airport and Berlin Brandenberg Airport, and expanding to Frankfurt Airport in early 2026.

Coty Travel Retail, in partnership with global travel retailer Gebr. Heinemann, is debuting ‘My Fragrance Garden’, an exclusive experiential installation reimagining fragrance discovery through the lens of sustainability, education, and innovation.

The activation brings Coty’s ‘Beauty that Lasts’ sustainability strategy to life through a specially curated experience featuring five leading brands: Hugo Boss, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Chloé, and Marc Jacobs.

At the heart of My Fragrance Garden is an immersive multi-brand installation inviting travellers to explore the five core pillars of Coty’s sustainable fragrance strategy: upcycled alcohol; upcycled ingredients; eco-designed packaging; fragrance drop sampler; and fragrance refills.

“The launch of ‘My Fragrance Garden’ is further testament to how sustainability is Coty’s ultimate driver of innovation,” said Mette Engell, Senior Vice President, Global Travel Retail at Coty.

Engell continued: “This exclusive installation is a dynamic, exciting manifestation of our ‘Beauty tThat Lasts’ strategy, enabling travelers to engage with our fragrance creations in meaningful, educational ways, and understand how we develop products that embody both desirability and sustainability.”

Each pillar is brought to life through a spotlight on fragrance innovations across five signature brands, coupled with tactile displays, QR code-enabled storytelling, and immersive content designed to educate and engage visitors.

Britta Hoffmann, Director, Purchasing Beauty at Gebr. Heinemann, commented: “Our partnership with Coty is driven by shared ambition and a joint commitment to sustainability. With ‘My Fragrance Garden’, we are proud to bring this commitment to life – combining innovation, responsibility, and a unique travel retail experience for our customers.”

“As a retailer, we are in a position between supplier and consumer, raising the importance of collaboration to increase sustainability at the point of sale,“ added Saskia Möller, Director, Legal, Compliance, & Sustainability at Gebr. Heinemann. “In doing so, the awareness raising and education of shoppers is crucial, therefore playing an important part in our sustainability strategy. ‘My Fragrance Garden’ perfectly contributes to this by shedding light on sustainability product credentials and attracting shoppers to learn more in a playful, exciting way.”

The centerpiece of the My Fragrance Garden experience is an interactive garden-themed circular display, inviting visitors to immersive themselves in the five key themes underpinning Coty’s sustainable fragrance strategy.

Coty, working in partnership with experts at LanzaTech, uses captured carbon emissions to produce a high-purity alcohol that is suitable for use in fragrances. Created through a natural fermentation process, this new alcohol utilizes near-zero water consumption and significantly reduces the need for agricultural land and fertilizers – helping to lessen the impact on biodiversity.

Showcasing fragrance components made from repurposed by-products, including upcycled turpentine from the paper industry in CK One Essence, and Cedarwood Virginia sourced from leftover wood chips in Calvin Klein Eternity for Women.

The eco-designed packaging demonstrates Coty’s commitment to using less and better packaging, promoting circular and lower impact solutions, while maintaining quality and desirability.

As for fragrance refills, by using a Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum refill, consumers can reduce packaging weight by up to 68% (calculations based on purchasing one 150ml refill and one 50ml bottle of Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum instead of 4 x 50 ml bottles), cutting down on the main environmental contributors: 75% less glass, 54% less metal, 44% less plastic, and 30% less cardboard.

Finally, the fragrance drop sampler spotlights an innovative testing solution that dispenses a single, touchless drop, offering a precise, low-waste alternative to traditional sprays while preserving the true essence of the perfume.

Steffen Jopp, Managing Director, Gebr. Heinemann at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, said: “We are incredibly proud to host ‘My Fragrance Garden’ at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). This unique activation transforms travel time into a sensory experience, highlighting sustainability and innovation in a captivating setting.

Experiences like this at the point of sale are becoming essential for capturing attention and driving engagement. A heartfelt thank you to all partners and teams involved. We look forward to welcoming travelers and creating memorable moments together.”

‘A whale of a milestone’ – Travel Blue lauds recycled plastics progress

Travel accessories supplier Travel Blue says its use of recycled plastics has reached the equivalent of more than 4.7 million 500ml plastic bottles.

This equates to in excess of 188 metric tons – or one fully grown blue whale, says the company.

“We are delighted with the rapid progress of Our Blue Way, which has exceeded all our goals and it is making a real difference,” commented Travel Blue Group Managing Director Daniel Levin.

“Our Blue Way has a triple eco-friendly benefit, offering products that are recycled, recyclable and reducing the use of plastic.”

Daniel Levin, Managing Director, Travel Blue Group.

Travel Blue launched Our Blue Way in 2023 with a focus on leading sustainability efforts in the global travel retail accessories market.

More 50% of Travel Blue’s products are produced from recycled or recyclable material. The number is increasing as technology develops.

The company’s travel pillows are made with a 94% recycled cover, 100% recyclable foam and 100% recycled packaging.

Adapters, power banks and cables use recycled plastic and wheat straw bio-polymer, a renewable and sustainable plastic alternative.

Textile items such as money belts, folding bags, bags and eye masks are also now produced from recycled materials, while Travel Blue’s reusable, stainless steel water bottles offer customers an alternative to single use plastic bottles.

“When Our Blue Way launched in 2023, the reaction from retail partners was extremely positive and within the first few months, eight out of 10 of the largest duty free operators came on board,” said Levin.

“Our core values are innovation, sustainability and social responsibility. We offer products that meet Gen Z shopper eco-credentials, giving operators an enormous opportunity to embrace a sustainable future and ensure continued business success.”

Loacker launches new Misto Bontà assortment; transitions to Benefit Corp

The new Misto Bontà assortment features individually wrapped versions of Loacker’s most popular formats and flavours.

Loacker is presenting its new 466.5g Misto Bontà variety pack to travel retail partners and delegates at the upcoming TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes (Stand AA11, Yellow Village).

Featuring individually wrapped versions of Loacker’s most popular formats and flavours, the new product has been developed to meet a range of traveller needs, from on-the-go snacking to self-consumption and multi-occasion gifting.

Handy for sharing, the new Misto Bontà assortment contains: 1 x Wafer Thins (37.5g) – Dark Chocolate; 7 x Classic (45g each) – Napolitaner, Double Choc, Vanilla, Cremkakao, Alpine Milk, Cocoa & Milk, Peanut Butter; and 3 x Gardena (38g each) – Hazelnut, Coconut, Chocolate.

It has been especially developed to encourage customers to taste the portfolio, with its bold yet sustainable red packaging featuring an integrated carry handle – a design feature the company says ‘ensures strong on-shelf standout in the high-traffic travel retail environment’.

“We see strong potential in travel retail for our new Misto Bontà introduction, created in response to the growing demand for premium, ready-to-gift (and self-gifting) options, that offer flexibility across a range of usage occasions,” said Loacker Head of Travel Retail and Duty Free Juan Miguel Cabrera.

“This format not only delivers product variety and convenience, it also encourages consumer trial across Loacker’s core ranges, helping to build brand awareness at the point of purchase, and supporting category growth.”

Loacker’s new 466.5g Misto Bontà variety pack.

This year Loacker has carried out a number of celebrations and new initiatives to mark its 100th anniversary.

Furthermore, the South Tyrolean confectionery company has strengthened its commitment to sustainability by officially becoming a Benefit Corporation.

Added to this is the release of its first Impact Report, developed in partnership with InVento Innovation Lab, which guided Loacker through the transition and helped define its long-term strategic sustainability goals.

“In addition to celebrating the first 100 years of history, 2025 represents a fundamental moment for the commitment to a responsible future,” commented Loacker Chairman of the Board of Directors Ulrich Zuenelli.

“The transition to a Benefit Corporation reinforces our desire to act with transparency, vision and responsibility.

“We know that change requires collaboration and consistency: it is from here that we want to continue the path we have taken.”

Loacker’s integrated sustainability strategy is rooted in four core areas: ‘Climate action, circularity and environmental protection’; ‘Ethical sourcing and partnership with local communities’; ‘Social responsibility for the wellbeing of employees’; and ‘Pleasure without remorse’.

The company has already developed the Optibake electric wafer kiln with zero direct emissions, in partnership with Bühler Group.

Now, Loacker is focusing on more sustainable packaging solutions, with a key initiative being its flexible printing technology development project.

This is designed to facilitate printing directly onto packaging, thereby eliminating the need for adhesive labels (and related waste).

Looking ahead, Loacker is also investing in research and innovation with the development of a new R&D hub, the Loacker Technology Center.

“The Loacker Technology Center will serve as a cornerstone for our future growth,” said Cabrera.

“More than just a hub for product innovation, it will play a vital role in advancing our sustainability agenda by integrating technological progress with environmental responsibility.

“As consumer expectations around sustainable confectionery in global travel retail continue to rise, it is imperative that we step up and further intensify our efforts in order to meet – and exceed – these evolving demands.”

Nuxe shines light on new-for-summer suncare range at airports in Europe

The highlight of Nuxe’s product innovations for summer 2025 are the Sun Gold Oils (pictured right), featuring SPF protection and a shimmering texture.

With summer skincare front-of-mind among consumers, Nuxe is refreshing its classic and new-for-summer 2025 suncare range with a series of upgrades, boosted by a dedicated focus on the products at its in-store podiums and activations across European airports.

The special focus sees the launch of Nuxe’s first protective golden oil with sun protection, alongside limited edition suncare products and a travel exclusive pack of five suncare products.

“We are bringing an exceptionally strong line up of suncare products to travel retail this summer,” said Ombeline Forbin, Nuxe Marketing Manager Travel Retail & Export.

“From this extensive range we can propose an ultimate routine for every woman, with Nuxe Sun to protect yourself from sun exposure, our new Sun Gold Oils with shimmers, to protect and glow at the same time, and Huile Prodigieuse to moisturise and glow, with the additional option of using the Huile Prodigieuse Gold roll-on in the evening, as a highlighter and moisturiser for example.

“And our travel retail exclusive of a handy pouch of five suncare products for an essential sun protection routine on vacation is tailor-made for the holiday traveller, and we believe will be highly effective in triggering spontaneous purchase in store.”

This year the French beauty company is drawing upon its glow expertise to add a shimmery texture to suncare in the form of the new Nuxe Sun Gold Oils SPF30 and SPF50, which are suitable for all skin types and skin tones.

The formulation combines Nuxe’s patented UVA/UVB/blue light technology and antioxidant extracts from rice and rosemary to provide high sun and anti-ageing cellular protection that helps prevent dark spots associated with photo-ageing.

It’s non-greasy, non-sticky golden texture is absorbed rapidly by the skin. Nuxe Sun’s own signature scent, with notes of tiare, sweet orange and vanilla, further enhances the sensorial appeal of the products.

Left: Nuxe Hair and Skin Mist (seen here in Sunset Bliss). Right: Nuxe Sun Delicious Sun Spray SPF50 (50ml).

In line with the company’s strong commitment to eco-sustainability, the pearly particles in the formulation are of 100% natural origin.

Plus, being water-resistant means the dispersion of the product while bathing is limited (it has been tested in marine conditions to ensure it does not harm the marine ecosystem).

This summer also sees the launch of the new Nuxe Hair and Skin Mists, inspired by shoppers seeking lighter ‘watery’ mists, as opposed to heavy perfumes, and the trend for layering different mists to create a personalised scent.

The Sensual Era and Sunset Bliss versions of this latest addition to Nuxe’s suncare range are currently being introduced to travel retail as limited-edition opportunities with Lagardère, Avolta and Aer Rianta.

More key developments include Nuxe upgrading the sun protection factor of its Melting Sun Cream and Melting Sun Lotion from SPF50 to SPF50+ and removing all plastic from its Nuxe Sunny Travels Pouch.

This Travel Exclusive kit offers a selection of five Nuxe sun care products: High Protection Face Cream SPF 30 (50ml); Delicious Perfuming Water with a design of sunset hues (30ml); After-Sun Fresh Milk (50ml); a miniature bottle of Huile Prodigieuse Multi-purpose Dry Oil Gold (10ml); and a tube of After-Sun Hair and Body Shampoo that removes UV filters, salt, chlorine and sand (100ml).
