For a more responsible tourism
Beyond the Group's commitment to promoting more sustainable tourism, the PONANT Foundation supports concrete initiatives contributing to the preservation and restoration of ecosystems, the acquisition and sharing of scientific knowledge, and the development of local communities.
Preservation and restoration
The oceans cover nearly 70% of the Earth's surface, provide over 50% of the oxygen we breathe, and absorb more than 30% of CO2 emissions. Contributing to the preservation of this exceptional environment is one of our priorities.
