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 program 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.
Custom, unique, completely you.
As the global service leader in corporate travel and event management, we recognize 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 avoid 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 travelers to make smarter decisions in respect of their carbon footprint.
