Carnival’s Challenge

Carnival Corporation & plc, a global cruise company and one of the largest vacation companies in the world, wished to demonstrate its environmental leadership by improving its internal processes for sustainability data collection and reporting. Carnival also wanted to measure its continual improvement progress across seven of its Operating Lines.

Our Solution

EMS Implementation and Certification Working with Five Winds International since 2005, Carnival developed and implemented Environmental Management Systems (EMS) within all of its Operating Lines. In 2006, seven of these Operating Lines became certified to the ISO 14001 standard, an international EMS standard that aims to help organizations minimize their negative impact on the environment.

Specifically, an EMS helps companies measure and monitor, as they outline the data that should be collected, analyzed, stored, and reported. Sustainability Management and Reporting In 2009, Carnival selected PE INTERNATIONAL’s SoFi software solution as a means to capture and analyze its sustainability per formance data.
