Sustainability at Cunard

Looking after the world we love

At Cunard, and with our parent company Carnival Corporation & plc, we’re taking action to reduce our impact on the environment and invest in our communities and people to deliver positive change – not just for today, but for the long term. Our sustainability agenda aligns with elements of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and is built around six key focus areas.

Protecting the environment

Climate action

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

Circular economy

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

Partnering with our destinations and communities

More 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 & conservation

Our efforts are focused on taking responsibility to minimise our impact by implementing best practice across our operations, building partnerships with experts, and investing in programs to support biodiversity and conservation.

Investing in people

Good health & well-being

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

Diversity, equity & 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.
