FLIGHT Centre has promoted Michelle Degenhardt to be its new Global Sustainability Officer, a newly created position that will see her ensure business practices become more environmentally and socially sustainable.
The former Culture and Employee Engagement Leader is based in Flight Centre’s global head office in Brisbane, where she is reporting directly to Global Head of Risk and Sustainability Brett Anderson.
The appointment arrives as the company, which is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, ramps up its corporate social responsibility efforts.
“Sustainability is an area that is extremely important to our company, our people and our leisure and corporate customers,” Flight Centre MD Graham Turner said.
