COSTA AND THE
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Being a global operator, the challenge posed by the Sustainable Development Goals,
which were announced in September 2015, is an important driver of the definition
of our sustainability
roadmap.Inthis context we have mapped the different areas
of intervention and engagement, and also assessed the correlation between each
goal and our business activities.The picture that emerges from this analysis, firstly,
confirms the level of complexity of the cruise industry and, secondly, highlights the
potential impact of the sustainability strategy that we are implementing.
