We embrace and actively support diversity

Sonders & Beach believes it is important to create opportunities for employees to connect with colleagues who share similar interests and passions. From women’s networks and Latino communities to LGBTQ+ groups, sustainability initiatives, and volunteering, we support our employees’ passions and celebrate diversity around the world. Since its founding, diversity and inclusion have been two fundamental principles at Sonders & Beach. These values guide our work every day as we strive to contribute to a better and more inclusive world. The well-being of people, both inside and outside our company, is reason enough for us to place diversity and inclusion among our core business priorities. We strongly believe that a healthy work environment—where diversity is valued and inclusion is actively promoted—is the foundation of our success. An environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves and proud of their work is the starting point for continuous innovation, improvement, and the creation of lasting value for the company.

Diversity & Inclusion Protocol

In 2021, in collaboration with the Italian Association of LGBTQ+ Tourism (AITGL), we launched the Diversity & Inclusion Protocol, the first Italian protocol dedicated to promoting diversity and social inclusion in tourism for the international LGBTQ+ community. Validated by the international certification body RINA, the protocol strengthens organizations’ commitment to social and environmental sustainability and supports long-term value creation.

Inclusion, along with social, economic, and environmental sustainability, is a priority for us. For this reason, we actively support and collaborate with several international organizations and initiatives.

Standards of Conduct for Business
