Sustainability at P&O Cruises

Climate action

We support the adaptation of alternative fuels and are testing new technologies as they become available. We're investing in new low-carbon or zero-carbon emission technologies, developing and installing advanced air quality systems and partnering with organisations and stakeholders to support our decarbonisation efforts.

Circular ecomony

As the world shifts towards a circular economy model where materials flow around a ‘closed loop’ system, we're shifting how we work with our supply chain partners to reduce waste.

Sustainable tourism

As we travel the world, we have the privilege to explore many cultures and environments. It is our collective responsibility to respect and help them maintain their culture, history and natural resources.

Biodiversity and conservation

Our efforts are focused on implementing best practices across our operations, investing in programmes that support biodiversity and conservation, working with our supply chain and partnering with the communities we visit to help maintain and improve their ecosystems.

Good health and well-being

Our employees are at the heart of our operation, and we're working on expanding our well-being programmes to support their physical and mental health, encourage social connectivity with family and friends and promote a balanced lifestyle.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

Our success depends on the diversity, talent and dedication of our global employee base. We strive to provide an inclusive and supportive work environment with equal opportunities for professional growth throughout their career path.

2030 & 2050 - Our Goals and Aspirations

This year, with our parent company Carnival Corporation & PLC, we are introducing our sustainability focus areas. These six areas are where we are focusing our sustainability efforts in support of our 2030 goals and 2050 aspirations. In each Focus Area, we have identified goals, targets and aspirations that will guide our actions to further strengthen our sustainability performance. As time passes, we may revise or augment our 2030 goals and 2050 aspirations by introducing additional ones, as we continue to grow in our journey to be sustainable from ship to shore.
