DouroAzul – River Cruises with Ethics, Sustainability, and Responsibility
DouroAzul, a company of the MysticInvest Holding group, is proud to be a participant in the UN Global Compact, the United Nations initiative that promotes responsible business practices in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, Environment, and Anti-Corruption.
The UN Global Compact, launched in 2000 by then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, integrates Ten Fundamental Principles into business operations and supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encouraging organizations to adopt ethical and sustainable practices throughout their activities.
For DouroAzul, this commitment is especially relevant in the context of river cruises on the Douro River, where we incorporate responsible practices across all our operations. This includes promoting Human Rights, ensuring fair and safe working conditions, protecting the environment, and adopting integrity and anti-corruption policies. From vessel management to interactions with local communities and partners, we ensure that river tourism contributes to sustainability and to the economic and social development of the region.
Our support for the UN Global Compact reinforces our mission to offer high-quality tourism experiences with responsibility and positive impact, preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the Douro.
As participants in this initiative, we invite you to visit our profile on the UN Global Compact website and read our letter of commitment.
