President's Message
For this reason, I have begun building on my knowledge and learning of Indigenous people across the world. For us at MaCher USA, the ancestral and unceded territory, on which our headquarters stand, belongs to the Gabrieleno-Tongva people. They are survivalists and protectors, I want to acknowledge that this is their sacred land, which both our business and most of our team members occupy.
During Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel Summit in Victoria BC we had the opportunity to listen to many Indigenous community members proudly sharing their culture and sustainable life in partnership with nature. I left Canada inspired by these wise voices and recognizing the need for more of our business actions and decision making to be centered in areas of environmental and social justice.
Together at MaCher, we are building our practice to be more inclusive in hiring and partnerships to help ensure disenfranchised voices are heard and amplified.
Decarbonization of our value chain remains a challenge for our business and we recognize it is on us to provide further support to our supply partners to help them identify and mitigate their own emissions.
With this report, I feel energized by the number of clients transparently sharing their struggles and successes with so many of our team. I know my late Father is smiling as these levels of collaboration are both exciting and allow us "to 'punch well about our weight' with kindness, encouragement, strategic and practical support.
Thank you for taking the time to share in our journey.
