HomeToGo Joins the United Nations Global Compact, Underlining its Commitment to Sustainable Corporate Practices

Luxembourg, 25 October 2023 - HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG), the marketplace with the world’s largest selection of vacation rentals, today announced its official entry into the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) by becoming a signatory of the global initiative. The UNGC is the world's largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative, uniting businesses, governments and civil society to take action towards the universally accepted Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

HomeToGo proudly joins the ranks of more than 15,000 participating companies and over 3,800 non-commercial entities based in over 160 countries worldwide that actively commit to taking responsibility in creating a more sustainable and inclusive global economy. By becoming a signatory, HomeToGo confirms its commitment to advancing a more sustainable and stable environment by strategically anchoring the UNGC values across its value chain and continuing to implement and enhance sustainability initiatives in its strategic planning.

Dr. Patrick Andrae, Co-founder & CEO of HomeToGo: “We are proud to support the UN Global Compact along with many notable organizations across the globe. HomeToGo has committed to embrace the Ten UNGC Principles in our planning and daily operations, which already resonate with our own ingrained company values. This commitment underlines our ongoing dedication towards sustainable and responsible business practices and reaffirms our belief that protecting our world, its citizens and sound business operations are intertwined pursuits. We look forward to actively engaging in collaboration and dialogue with fellow participants, learning from best practices and sharing experiences to drive continuous, global improvements.”

HomeToGo has committed to transparently reporting on the initiatives set in motion in support of the UN goals and to address matters embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). HomeToGo plans to publish its first annual Communication of Progress report in 2024.
