Powerful partnerships
From speaking with James , it ’ s clear to see that Royal Caribbean Group successfully leverages relationships across its supplier base to continuously innovate . “ In our food and beverage supply chain , we ’ ve worked with our suppliers on packaging and
shipping methods to maintain the freshness of the products ,” he shares . “ Some suppliers have opted to shorten the transport time , while others have reduced packaging . In terms of our pallets , we ’ ve removed much of the plastic and shrink-wrap and are finding more intelligent ways of palletizing goods .”
On the topic of sustainability , James adds : “ SEA the Future , which stands for Sustaining the planet , Energizing communities , and Accelerating innovation , is our companywide series of sustainability strategies , targets , and goals .
