Being Engaged Globally to Act Locally

Why representation in industry associations is key.

Duty free and travel retail is a business that takes place all around the world under often very different regulatory regimes. There are frequently similarities between topics that are highly relevant for the travel retail industry and those being discussed by political stakeholders, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), and civil society actors. Despite their commonalities, they still require local engagement in most cases. Gebr. Heinemann is engaged and committed to an open dialogue with all stakeholders on relevant topics. The company also works closely with partners in industry associations across the globe to give duty free and travel retail a strong voice wherever it is needed.
