Carnival Corporation, the world's largest cruise company has released its 13th annual sustainability report, detailing industry-leading initiatives and momentum across environmental, social and governance focus areas. The report also describes significant progress made by the company toward its aspirations of carbon-neutral operations by 2050 and a circular economy model focused on waste reduction, recycling and management.
CEO and chief climate officer for Carnival Corporation, Josh Weinstein, said that it is important they set an example for others to follow.
"As the global leader in the cruise industry, we are setting the pace with the industry's smartest solutions for sustainable cruising that will help deliver on our aggressive roadmap to reduce our carbon impact, maximize our use of resources and further enhance our operations to be even more efficient by 2030," said Weinstein.
"Our future depends on us being good corporate citizens and stewards of the environment, because without the incredible communities, healthy marine ecosystems, and scenic spaces we operate in, it would be impossible to deliver unforgettable happiness to our guests through extraordinary cruise vacations."
In 2022, as almost 100 percent of Carnival Corporation's full fleet returned to guest cruise operations, the company continued prioritizing sustainability, making major strides toward its 2030 goals and setting the pace with industrywide leadership in pursuing carbon-neutral operations by 2050, which is well ahead of current International Maritime Organization targets.
