At Transavia, there is no sustainability department or anyone employed in sustainability, stated Tulia Cășvean, communication director at Transavia, at the Romanian ESG Summit 2023, specifying: „We have 2,400 employees in sustainability because we have already internalized the fact that without flawless implementation, no strategy yields results. We do things exactly as they should be done, and that means we take care of people—both our employees and our consumers or the communities where we are present. We take care of the environment, of animals, and we care about the way we run the company.
Tulia Căşvean recalled that, in the last two years, the company she represents has paid much more attention to green energy, having achieved „the largest green energy investment in the food sector in Romania”, from its own funds, and at the same time focused quite a bit on cybersecurity.
Tulia Cășvean pointed out that „there is no sustainability without profitability, and vice versa, and Transavia is living proof that sustainability and economic success can go hand in hand”. He explained: „After investing a steady 25 to 30 million euros year after year, at least over the past ten years, last year we recorded the highest profitability in all our 32 years of existence. A profitability that places us at the top nationally in our sector, as well as at the European level. And we didn't achieve this through price increases, because prices are regulated by the market. We achieved this through discipline and the sustainability practices we implement every day. We have a zero-waste policy, which means we take care of all kinds of resources on the one hand, and on the other hand we have a circular ecosystem. We take care of the land and water, we have wastewater treatment plants, and in this way we practically have zero waste. Last year we had a waste recovery rate of over 99.5 %. That is actually where our very good profitability comes from.
