  • Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions, Energy & Water Management

    We promote the efficient use of resources and energy, measuring and disclosing our operational GHG emissions annually. With 2050 set as our ultimate target year, we have established phased short-, medium-, and long-term reduction plans. Our energy and water consumption reduction performance relative to the baseline year is also transparently disclosed.
  • Environmental Management Governance

    Through our ESG Committee, we deliberate on and manage environmental objectives and key initiatives. The operational status of these efforts is publicly disclosed in our annual Sustainability Report.
  • Sustainable Travel Products

    We incorporate sustainable elements—such as utilizing certified hotels and encouraging public transportation—into selected travel packages. We will continue to expand these initiatives while clearly specifying the applicable scope and sustainable attributes in our product information.
  • Aviation Sector GHG Mitigation

    In partnership with airlines, we actively support the expansion of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and disclose specific progress and details in our Sustainability Report.
  • Employee Engagement

    We conduct annual environmental training programs and green campaigns for all employees, reporting the detailed outcomes in our Sustainability Report.
  • Ecological Conservation

    We carry out biodiversity and ecological conservation activities, such as tree planting, and share our detailed initiatives through our Sustainability Report.

Environmental Governance

Hanatour operates an ESG Committee under the Board of Directors (BOD).

The ESG Committee reviews the performance of environmental management and discusses key agenda. Insights from the discussions are incorporated into operational plans and implemented by each working group, and the ESG Management Team reviews the outcomes on a quarterly basis. Material issues are reflected in the management strategy and reported to the BOD.

Outcomes of Environmental Management

We measure the performance of our environmental management activities by tracking quantitative metrics, such as greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, and integrate these results into employee performance evaluations to foster active interest and engagement.

Goals of Environmental Management

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we have established short-, medium-, and long-term reduction targets, along with specific initiatives for each phase. Our action plans and performance outcomes for each period are transparently disclosed in our Sustainability Report.
