“There are huge benefits to be gained by looking at business travel through a sustainability lens. You can boost traveler wellbeing, increase productivity, and, in many cases, save on costs and
reduce your carbon footprint. In addition, as more regulations come into force that require reporting and taking action on carbon emissions, embedding the principles of transparency that underpin sustainability will be a vital part of business as usual.”
