This month, Royal Caribbean Group is celebrating 30 years of Save the Waves, the cruise line's first (and ongoing) environmental initiative. Initiated in 1992, over the past 30 years, Save the Waves has grown into a global commitment to engrain sustainability practices into every part of Royal Caribbean Group's business and culture. "Save the Waves has served as the strong foundation for what we have accomplished and the ambitious sustainability efforts we are committed to at Royal Caribbean Group," said Jason Liberty, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean Group. "The program, for decades, has helped us create a culture dedicated to environmental performance and our commitment to protecting our oceans." When it was introduced, the Save the Waves initiative was primarily focused on waste management and reduction, the company said, in a statement. Since then, it has evolved to include a range of policies, activities, and innovations.
