For TUI Group, sustainability in all three dimensions – economic, environmental and social – is a fundamental management principle. We firmly believe that sustainability is critical to long-term economic success. We understand sustainable transformation as an opportunity.
Ever since the year 2000, TUI provided Group-level information on sustainability matters in its Annual Report. The sustainability declaration published for financial year 2025 constitutes the combined non-financial declaration of TUI AG and TUI Group. The non-financial declaration was prepared pursuant to sections 289b et seq. and 315b to 315c of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and based on application of part of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, (ESRS, EU 2023/2772), which are derived from the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, CSRD, EU 2022/2464.
Regardless of the legal uncertainly resulting from the lack of transposition of the CSRD Directive on Sustainability Reporting into German legislation as at the reporting date, TUI Group has decided to apply the ESRS derived from the CSRD for the first time in preparing the combined non-financial declaration of TUI Group as a framework pursuant to section 315c (3) in combination with section 289d of the German Commercial Code (HGB). The 2025 reporting is based for the first time on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and has been adjusted in preparation for the implementation of European regulation. Prior-year figures, unless stated otherwise, have not been restated; therefore, comparability with previous reports is limited.
This declaration complements TUI Group’s management report contained in the present Annual Report and presents key developments in non-financial matters. The contents of this declaration were examined by TUI Group’s Supervisory Board pursuant to section 171 (1) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The declaration was also reviewed by our independent auditor, who issued a limited assurance opinion.
The declaration is a component of our Annual Report 2025, which is published as an online report and as a pdf file on our corporate website.
In the framework of our double materiality assessment process, required under CSRD, we have identified the material impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) for each topical ESRS standard, resulting in disclosure of the following ESRS sustainability topics:
- General disclosures in accordance with ESRS 2
- Climate change (E1)
- Disclosures under the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852
- Own workforce (S1)
- Workers in the value chain (S2)
- Consumers and end-users (S4)
- Business conduct (G1)
