Project Goals and Objectives
Our primary goal is to encourage the travel buyer community and suppliers to take action on addressing sustainability issues within their own organisations.
The best way to do this is to make a commitment, sign up for a buyer accreditation or enter the supplier awards programme. (see ‘Make a Commitment' section for full details)
Objectives
Economic:
- Develop corporate travel programmes and supply chain procurement methodologies, that advance our economies on a need led basis and opportunity
- Business efficiency is the key: balancing investment in sustainability with financial benefits for the company and local communities in which they operate
Environment:
- Initially target carbon emission reductions across all participating regions in line with local government principles followed by reductions in other environmental pollutants
- Determine a methodology to measure country wide business travel and meetings emissions and build into a European overview
- Provide information, advice and tools to better understand the impact of other environmental pollutants as well as aid natural resource management and biodiversity
Social:
- Develop corporate travel programmes, and procurement methodologies, that advance business travel whilst recognising traveller needs and a social perspective
- Place duty of care, wellbeing, safety and security of travelling employees as an integral part of all travel programmes
