Sustainability and ESG

At The Football Travel Agency we believe a football trip is much more than attending a match. It is an experience that connects people, brings cultures together and creates memories that last a lifetime.

Environmental

Travel, and flying in particular, produces CO2 emissions. We are open and honest about that. It is precisely why we continually look for ways to reduce our impact.

We do this by, among other things:

• Offering tickets, travel documents and communication digitally wherever possible.
• Offering train and ferry journeys alongside flights where that is a suitable alternative.
• Working with carriers and travel partners that invest in sustainability.
• Putting trips together efficiently, so unnecessary journeys are avoided.
• Following and applying new sustainable developments in the travel industry.

We believe every conscious choice contributes to a more sustainable future.

Social: people and society

Football is the biggest sport in the world and speaks a universal language. It brings together people from different countries, cultures, religions and backgrounds.

Travelling around football does more than provide relaxation. It creates connection, understanding and mutual respect. People meet, discover new cities, encounter local traditions and build relationships that go far beyond a single match.

Sport makes an important contribution to health, happiness and social cohesion. A unique football experience can inspire people and give them energy.

Women's football

We pay attention not only to men's football, but to women's football as well. The growth of the women's game shows how sport is becoming more inclusive and inspiring new generations. Wherever possible we include women's football matches and experiences in our offer.

Local football

Local football also serves an important social purpose. Without amateur and non-league clubs, many professional clubs would never have existed. That is why we help raise the profile of these clubs and the communities they serve.

Local involvement

A football trip should create value not only for the traveller, but for the destination as well. That is why we prefer to work with local businesses: independent hotels, restaurants, pubs, carriers and guides. In that way a larger share of the economic value stays in the region we visit.

Authentic local experiences not only make a trip better, they also support the local economy and employment.

Business and connection

Football brings together not only supporters, but entrepreneurs as well. We see sport as a powerful platform for business encounters. Our trips spark new conversations, new ideas and often new partnerships.

Lasting business relationships grow from trust, shared experiences and personal connection. Football provides a unique international platform for that.

Governance

Good entrepreneurship starts with transparency, reliability and responsibility. That is why we work exclusively with partners who hold quality, safety and integrity in high regard.

We strive for:

• transparent prices and honest communication;
• cooperation with official ticket partners and professional suppliers;
• compliance with laws and regulations and protection of personal data under the GDPR;
• respect for diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity;
• long-term partnerships based on trust;
• continuous improvement of our ESG performance and social impact.

We see ESG not as an obligation, but as a natural part of responsible business.
