DERTOUR makes sustainability criteria visible during the booking process to help customers make informed decisions. The company promotes and labels certified products, and integrates sustainability aspects into the travel experience. To further support climate-conscious travel decisions, DERTOUR is actively involved in an industry-wide project initiated by Futouris and KlimaLink - where DERTOUR also serves as a board member - to develop a standardized method for calculating and displaying the carbon footprint of travel products. The aim is to make the climate impact of travel transparent for customers by gradually introducing emission data for travel components—starting with flights—across online platforms and printed catalogues from 2025 onward.
