Our mission, vision and values

Our vision is the future we want to achieve. Our mission is what we do every day to bring that vision to life.

Mission

Helping people and companies travel smart and achieve more

Vision

To be the world’s most trusted, innovative and sustainable travel management company

Our values

Solve it together

Collaboration connects us. There’s no problem so tough that we can’t tackle it together. Working as a team, we harness the wisdom (and energy!) of the crowd.

Act with purpose

We embrace change and foster innovation. Our creativity and drive are positively contagious – and they get results.

Do what’s right

We operate openly and foster transparency. Our team members, clients and communities always know where we stand.

Give your best

Passion powers us. We believe the only way to do great work is to love what you do. We’re inspired by the people and places around us.

Feed the future

When we give others the tools, skills and opportunities to succeed, they flourish. When we give ourselves the same, we’re unstoppable.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion

Experience shows that our differences fuel innovation for our company, clients and communities. We bring different voices, backgrounds and perspectives into our workforce—and nurture and celebrate them once they’re here. We treat everyone with respect, dignity and fairness. We empower each person to develop themselves to the fullest. We’re committed to making a positive impact in the lives of others.

A message from our Global Executive Team

As a travel company, we exist to bring people together. When people come together, they create opportunities for shared experience, dialogue, and growth. These opportunities are at the core of our long-standing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

We’re committed to building and sustaining a global workforce that is diverse and reflects the communities in which we operate, a workplace that is inclusive, and a culture that seeks to ensure equal access to opportunities for everyone.

We recognize that we must always strive to do better by our people and our communities, and that our work in this area can never be “done.” From offering our people ongoing awareness opportunities and resources to re-evaluating the impact of our initiatives, we’re committed to moving forward in the spirit of humanity and humility.

Our commitment is rooted in our core values. In tackling tough challenges as a team (Solve it together), driving change (Act with purpose), advocating for justice (Do what’s right), making things happen (Give your best) and empowering ourselves and others (Feed the future), we move toward a better tomorrow. 

We’re a big global company and different dimensions of diversity carry different meaning and importance in different countries and regions around the world. It’s why our DE&I framework has been built on a cornerstone of aligning global principles to local plans.

This work is a journey and we’ve already made good progress. But we’re not stopping, as we build forward in key areas, including:

  • Increasing and strengthening recruitment partnerships that can help us reach more diverse candidate pools around the globe
  • Developing policies and processes that foster greater inclusion for neurodivergent applicants and employees
  • Increasing our measurement of diverse supplier spend across markets and developing strategies to grow those relationships in our supply chain
  • Working across various internal teams to develop solutions that help our customers and their travelers have more accessible and inclusive travel experiences
  • Continuing DE&I news, resources, conversations and events to increase engagement and drive awareness and connections across our workplace

We know that the work of growing DE&I in our DNA extends far beyond any one person, department or function. We know that challenging the status quo requires change, not only in processes but also in mindsets and behaviors. And we know that change can be difficult. So, we’ll continue to progress as a company in thoughtful, practical ways – and we ask the support of every one of our people as we move ahead on our journey.
