The importance of team commitment and co-operation to achieve responsible tourism
• Simply instituting a responsible tourism action plan is not enough to generate results
• Employees bridge the gap between the company’s sustainability goals and the realisation of those goals
• Commitment must be personal and day-to-day

Team commitment example 1: AT&T and Do One Thing
As a part of its corporate social responsibility programme, AT&T asked employees to start an individual or team
project to make one small change of their choice in order to help their company or themselves become more
sustainable and socially responsible. Some employees chose to walk or bike to work rather than drive, while
others chose to invite students to shadow them on the job. Giving employees the opportunity to choose where to
make a change not only helped participants engage with their communities in meaningful ways but also resulted in
a reduction to the company’s total carbon footprint.

Gaining team commitment example 2: PNC and paid volunteering
PNC is part of a growing trend where employers allow paid time off for staff volunteering. However, unlike many of their peers, PNC doesn’t just simply plan an
annual park clean-up or trip to a soup kitchen, instead, employees can choose from a list of over 200
organisations for which they can volunteer and are provided with an allowance of paid time off to
volunteer.
