Tui has appointed a new group sustainability director following the departure of Jane Ashton.
Ashton, who leaves to take on a similar role at easyJet, is replaced by Charlotte Wwiebe, who previously held the function of human resources director and member of the management board at Tui Nordic.
From March, Wwiebe will be in charge of implementing Tui Group’s new Sustainability Strategy 2030. She will present the new Sustainability Strategy at the beginning of the next year.
In 2019, she was named Swedish HR Director of the Year. Prior to her role within HR, Charlotte gained experience in various operational functions including the hotel sector.
Wwiebe said: “Sustainable transformation is one of the great challenges of our time. I am convinced that sustainability, business and profitability go hand in hand.
“My goal, therefore, is to continue working with my colleagues throughout Tui Group as well as our stakeholders and partners to drive change in this area with the purpose to create a more sustainable business – for our customers and destinations, our colleagues and the planet.
“New ideas and new technology will be needed to solve this task. In the years to come, we will continue shaping the future of the travel industry with a strong focus on people, a thriving business and the needs of our planet.”
