At Sundays Ice Cream Parlour, we believe small moments matter. Our shops are built around creating joyful experiences for families, locals, and visitors while contributing positively to the communities we operate in. We recognize that even small food-service businesses have the opportunity to make meaningful choices that support environmental stewardship, local economies, and long-term community well-being.

The UN World Tourism Organization defines sustainable tourism as:

“Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities.”

Each year between now and 2030, we will measure and track our sustainability performance using the Sustainable Tourism 2030 self-assessment framework to guide ongoing improvement.
