Tui Travel claims to have become the first company in the travel industry to be accepted into the business integrity forum of anti-corruption organisation Transparency International UK as a corporate member.
The Thomson and First Choice parent joins a network of major international companies dedicated to ensuring their operations and business dealings are transparent and corruption-free.
Tui Travel’s own integrity and anti-corruption compliance programme involves regular assessment against a global benchmark of gold standard practice.
Group compliance director Karis McLarty said: “To be accepted as a partner to the business integrity forum is a great honor, and reflects the work that Tui Travel has done, and continues to do in this regard.
“To be the first in the travel industry is a fantastic achievement and underlines our commitment to transparency across the business.
“Leading responsibly within the business and our industry is one of our core values and this partnership is a testament to that.”
Peter van Veen, director of the business integrity programme, said: “We value Tui Travel as a member of the business integrity forum.
“They have made clear their commitment to ensuring their operations and business dealings are free of corruption in the UK and abroad.”
