Lagardère Travel Retail deepens sustainability commitment with projects in Southeast Asia

SINGAPORE/INDONESIA. Lagardère Travel Retail employees came together for a series of environmental initiatives in April, including a clean-up drive in Singapore and tree-planting in Bintan, Indonesia.

These programmes are in line with the travel retailer’s commitment to safeguarding natural resources while fostering a culture of environmental responsibility within its organisation and beyond.

In Singapore, the team joined the third round of the Kallang Riverside Park Waterways clean-up effort to preserve and protect Singapore’s waters and natural environment.

Through this project, the team managed to collect a significant amount of discarded waste, which was then channelled through waste-to-energy incineration plants to transform into renewable energy.

The team’s efforts have contributed to the company’s sustainable water and environmental goals, and highlighted the importance of waste-management practices.

In Bintan, Indonesia, the Lagardère Travel Retail management team gathered for a tree-planting activity, supporting the company’s goals of reducing greenhouse gases through carbon sequestration

The trees will represent its dedication to protect the environment and its unity and resilience as a team, Lagardère Travel Retail noted.

To further promote inclusivity and cultural heritage, the travel retailer also hosted a batik-making session with local art school Cahaya Lentera Difa for children with diverse abilities. ✈
