This policy relates to the products, services, and operations within our company and across our supply chain. It will be regularly reviewed and improved so that we can integrate environmental and social considerations into our everyday practices and make a positive contribution to society. 

This policy applies to all employees of Attraction Tickets Ltd (including directors, managers, employees, sub-contractor, or consultant staff). 

We acknowledge that our company has potential impacts on people and the environment through our operations and supply chains. Through this policy we:

Our product and supply chain

We will continue to:

• Offer digital tickets to all attractions that we sell
• Provide a digital download for our brochure, minimising unnecessary printing and postage. Hard-copy brochures are printed on recyclable paper.  
• Expect our suppliers to manage their own environmental impacts and have relevant policies in place for their operations
• Only do business with companies who have relevant ethical policies in place

We are committed to sustainable development – meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs – as a guiding principle within our work. Concern for the environment is an integral and fundamental part of this commitment and all elements of this policy will be regularly reviewed and improved. Our aim is to reduce the impact on the environment from our operations.
