Our approach to mitigating
environmental impact
The possible impact long-term impact of
the growth of Costa’s business on marine
biodiversity and the ecosystem makes it
imperative to adopt rigorous environmental
management standards and procedures
and ensure a balanced approach based
on sustainable interaction, i.e. managing
increasing numbers of cruise guests
and the consequent impacts generated.
In the cruise industry, management of
fleet operations is strictly related to the
following factors: use of fuel and electricity,
control and minimization of emissions and
water consumption, disposal of wastewater,
waste reduction and disposal.
Other indirect environmental impacts
are linked to the supply chain and to
passengers’ travel to and from the port
of (dis-)embarkation.
In Costa Cruises environmental
management is defined and implemented
by means of specific action plans for
each area of intervention, and backed
up by continuous environmental training
for its crews; all the relevant activities
are carried out in full compliance with
the guidelines laid down by Carnival
Corporation (an integral part of the HESS
Policy) and are deliberately designed to
go beyond regulatory requirements.
