Sustainability

Future thinking

We understand the importance of sustainable travel to our clients. That’s why sustainability is at the heart of our business too.

A sustainable travel programme doesn’t just help to protect the planet. It tells the world what sort of a business you are. It attracts talent. It brings you closer to your customers and increases the value of your business.

As the global service leader in corporate travel and event management, we recognise our position of influence in the supply chain for businesses that are trying to quantify, manage and reduce their CO2 footprint.

This is why we continue to invest in technology platforms, partnerships, and people to bring you the support and information you need to make more sustainable travel decisions.

Intelligent data.
Smarter decisions

Thanks to our partnership with Squake, we’re making sustainable travel even more accessible for clients through enhanced sustainability data. We’re able to provide a deeper more detailed view of CO2 performance data.

When you search for travel and hotel options using our service, you’ll also see the CO2 emissions for your selection.
Our dedicated team will recommend alternative rail options for all applicable domestic flights and shows the CO2 emissions you’ll be avoiding by switching to rail.
It also highlights Eco-Certified hotels. These hotels have been accredited by a partner whose standards align closely with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council’s criteria.
These features encourage bookers and travellers to make smarter decisions in respect of their carbon footprint.

Increase employee engagement

Custom dashboards

We build customised, highly interactive dashboards for clients who want their employees to take more personal accountability for their travel decisions.

Dashboards are highly visual reporting tools that help increase employee engagement in your sustainability strategy in a way that feels personal and relevant.

Real-world context

They also allow you to incorporate and track progress towards CO2 reduction targets or to easily model and analyse potential CO2 savings opportunities.

• Clear visibility of the environmental impact of travel
• Filter by traveller, date, travel type or class
• Access to a comprehensive carbon offsetting programme

Leading edge partnerships, improved sustainability performance

We partner with Neste – the world’s leading sustainable fuel aviation fuel producer – to offer all our clients the option to purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

As one of the most promising lower-emission alternatives to fossil fuel, SAF is recognised by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as a way for clients meet their targets for business travel.

We’re proud to increase awareness and availability of SAF among our clients and to be driving investment in this important sector.
