Every day, behind the scenes of roller coasters, aquariums, and family attractions, thousands of suppliers contribute to making the experiences at Parques Reunidos possible.

From energy and food suppliers to construction partners and service providers, the company’s global network depends on strong collaboration across its value chain.

But when it comes to addressing climate change, one question quickly emerges: How do you work with hundreds of suppliers across multiple countries to reduce environmental impact in a way that is both ambitious and practical?

This is the challenge the Parques Reunidos HSE and Sustainability team set out to solve.

And it is one of the reasons why the company has recently been recognized with an “A” score in the CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA), placing it among global leaders in supplier engagement on climate action.

For many companies, a large share of environmental impact lies beyond their own operations, within their supply chains.

For Parques Reunidos, engaging suppliers effectively means balancing environmental ambition with operational reality across a diverse international portfolio of parks and partners.

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, the company chose to focus on a fundamental question: Where can we make the biggest difference first?

In 2025, the Group HSE and Sustainability team introduced a Supplier Due Diligence methodology designed around a step-by-step, risk-based approach.

Instead of attempting to assess every supplier at once, the framework prioritizes the areas where environmental impact and risk are greatest.

This allows the company to focus on meaningful engagement with the suppliers that matter most, while building a scalable system that can expand over time.

The result is an approach that is both ambitious and realistic, one that fits the operational complexity of a global leisure park operator.

To understand more about the thinking behind this approach, we spoke with our Chief HSE and Sustainability Officer, Isidora Díaz.

What does the CDP SEA “A” score mean for Parques Reunidos?

Earning an “A” score in the CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment complements our existing achievements in CDP Climate Change (A) and CDP Water Security (A-), placing Parques Reunidos among global leaders not only in managing the environmental performance of our own operations but also in driving climate action across our entire value chain.

This recognition reinforces something fundamental for us: climate action depends on strong, transparent, and long‑term collaboration with the suppliers who help bring our parks to life every day. Our approach is ambitious and grounded in data, but also realistic and aligned with the operational reality of a diverse international group.

Why is supplier engagement such a critical part of climate action today?

For Parques Reunidos, as for most companies, a large share of our environmental footprint occurs outside our own operations, particularly within the supply chain. From food and merchandising suppliers to attraction manufacturers and construction partners across multiple countries, the activities carried out by our suppliers shape our overall environmental impact.

Engaging suppliers is therefore essential to reduce Scope 3 emissions in a structured and measurable way, strengthen resilience across the value chain, and build trust and collaboration with partners who support guest experiences every day

Climate action is not limited to what happens inside our parks. It also depends on how we select, support, and influence our partners so that we can make progress together.

What makes Parques Reunidos’ approach different?

Our approach is built around practicality, prioritization, and scalability. Instead of adopting a one‑size‑fits‑all model or attempting to assess all suppliers simultaneously, which can be unrealistic for a global operator, Parques Reunidos developed a risk‑based methodology that identifies the suppliers and activities with the greatest impact.

What differentiates us is that we focus first on where we can make the biggest difference, applying a step‑by‑step process that adapts to the complexity of our parks, geographies, and procurement processes. This ensures the system is feasible in day‑to‑day operations while still allowing us to expand progressively to more suppliers and more products and service categories.

In addition, our engagement model goes beyond environmental criteria. We also assess social aspects such as safety, labor practices, ethical conduct, and human rights considerations, ensuring that our suppliers uphold responsible practices across the board.

How did the Supplier Due Diligence methodology contribute to the CDP recognition?

The methodology introduced in 2025 was central to our “A” score. It established a clear prioritization framework focused on high‑impact categories and created a practical foundation for capturing environmental, social, and governance-related information across the supply chain. At the same time, it provides a standardized yet flexible system that can be progressively expanded across our parks.

This structured, risk‑based approach demonstrated to CDP that Parques Reunidos has strong governance and an effective strategy for engaging suppliers on climate action.

The methodology also recognizes that supplier engagement begins with the people who decide which suppliers we work with and under what conditions. Every procurement decision is an opportunity to ensure that environmental and social expectations are embedded from the outset.

While the process is led and supported by the Group HSE and Sustainability team and, when needed, by the Group Procurement team, it is the contract owners both at Group and park level who play a key role in effective implementation. They are the ones making decisions about which suppliers we partner with, setting the tone for responsible practices from the very beginning of the relationship.

What comes next?

The CDP SEA ‘A’ score encourages us to continue strengthening our efforts along this path and reinforces our commitment to advancing sustainability across our value chain.

As a global operator of more than 30 parks across 10 countries, our next steps include extending the due diligence methodology to additional supplier categories, deepening collaboration with strategic suppliers to accelerate emissions‑reduction initiatives, and improving the quality of supplier data. We are also working to further integrate sustainability criteria into procurement decisions at every level, including those taken at Group level for strategic suppliers and at park level for tactical suppliers that are not managed by the Group Procurement department.

At the same time, we will continue to balance environmental and social ambition with the operational realities across our parks, ensuring that progress remains both meaningful and practical.

Looking ahead, our goal is to continue strengthening our supply chain so that it is increasingly aligned with the values we promote. This means advancing not only environmental performance but also reinforcing social responsibility, ensuring that the memorable experiences we create every day are supported by partners who uphold high standards of safety, inclusion, integrity, and respect for people and the planet.

Behind every guest experience at Parques Reunidos is a network of partners working together to deliver safe, memorable moments for millions of visitors each year.

By strengthening collaboration across its supply chain and focusing on practical, impactful action, Parques Reunidos is continuing to build a more responsible and resilient value chain.

The CDP “A” score is not the finish line, but an important milestone in the company’s ongoing journey toward more sustainable operations.
