Our Responsibility
At Uniworld River Cruises, we are committed to doing our part, alongside our passengers, to protect our environment by ensuring we minimize the environmental impact of our own operations around the world and believe that together we can truly make a difference.
Uniworld has a green policy which aims to reduce C02 energy consumption and waste throughout its international operations and offices.
In 2008, Uniworld conducted an energy audit of its offices and has implemented a range of measures which seek to reduce its overall carbon footprint, usage, and also increase the recycling of consumable products. New initiatives have seen the additional installation of efficient lighting, introduction of an IT energy-saving policy, incentive staff car pooling schemes, at desk recycling, environmentally-friendly procurement, and a staff environmental education and involvement program.
Uniworld also strives to help its local communities and has introduced a staff volunteer program whereby each staff member volunteers for a local charity of their choice two days a year , as well as the company supporting a range of charities throughout the year. Uniworld reviews its environmental performance on an ongoing basis and is committed to continuous improvement across energy and waste management, as well as contributing positively to fostering sustainable tourism in communities around the world. Uniworld has also undertaken to improve its clients awareness when on a river cruise, by recommending steps20so each customer can be more aware of their individual footprints while on vacation, and ways in which they can do more in this regard as well.
