For our clients

Making Informed Travel Decisions

SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL TOOL KIT

A sustainable business 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.

That’s why we provide our clients with point of sale carbon visibility, ‘switch to rail’ carbon savings, badging of eco-hotels, dynamic reduction dashboards, and access to a comprehensive offsetting program.

Eco-dashboard changes traveler behavior

Background

A leading professional services company wanted to take action to reduce its impact on the environment. Having already reduced their carbon emissions for each employee by 36%, the next phase of their sustainability strategy involved creating greater accountability at an individual level.

They needed a powerful visual tool to make travelers aware of their impact and provide them with a solution to create positive change.

Sustainability reporting for corporate travel

Our recommendation

A highly visual, personalized carbon emission dashboard for business travel activity, designed to enable employees to take personal accountability for their environmental footprint, changing behavior to reduce emissions as well as deliver access to a simple mechanism to offset those that remained.

The power of context

We knew from experience that simply providing visibility of personal emissions would have limited success. To really drive change we needed to give a fuller picture.

We worked to bring critical context, aligning emissions with real activity. For instance, the number of smart phones that could have been powered, or homes that could have been run based on the traveler’s individual emission levels.
