Online travel agency focusing on sustainable tourism and reducing carbon footprint in travel industry

Booking.com is one of the world's largest online travel platforms, operating under Booking Holdings. It connects travelers with millions of accommodation options - hotels, apartments, homes, and more - as well as flights, car rentals, and attractions across virtually every country.

Why it matters

Travel and tourism is a significant source of global carbon emissions, and Booking.com has made public commitments to address its footprint and influence. The company has published sustainability reporting and operates a dedicated sustainability team working on areas such as reducing the environmental impact of travel choices, supporting sustainable accommodation listings, and engaging with policy and regulatory developments - the latter being the focus of public affairs roles. Its scale means that even incremental shifts in how it surfaces sustainable travel options can influence behavior across hundreds of millions of bookings.

The presence of a Head of Public Affairs for the US and the Americas signals active engagement with government and regulatory bodies on issues that increasingly include climate policy, digital regulation, and corporate sustainability standards.
