Exciting travel plans ahead! I'm taking the train from #Bristol to #Copenhagen for the GBTA | Europe Sustainability Summit. Here’s why I’m choosing rail over air: 🌍 Train Emissions will be 94% lower than flying! 💚 I'll get to explore two extra cities-Amsterdam for a concert and Berlin for co-working ♻️ Even with these stops, rail will generate only 6kg CO2e (about the same as producing 139 plastic bags, compared to 2,045 for a flight!) Stay tuned for travel updates, including the carbon footprint of a stroopwafel, and how many I can enjoy before matching the emissions difference between rail and air for my trip! #GBTACopenhagen #GBTAEurope2024 #slowtravel

Teamwork makes the dream work: shared mobility 🛴🚗 Why travel solo when you can share? Ride-sharing, carpooling, and even electric scooters have made travelling through Europe much more sustainable. By sharing your ride, you’re not only cutting down on emissions but also reducing traffic congestion in cities. It’s a simple yet impactful way to green your commute. 🌍 If you're heading to #GBTASustainabilitySummit2024 and #GBTACopenhagen2024, tell us how you're using shared mobility options to make your trip more eco-friendly.

As organizations prioritize environmental responsibility, the demand for electric and other options are rising. This transition requires not only the availability of EVs but also the necessary infrastructure, including charging stations and partnerships with renewable energy providers. 💡By integrating sustainable transportation choices into corporate travel policies, businesses can send a powerful demand signal that activates the market for new technologies like EVs. 🌍 🚘 Sustainable procurement standards for #GroundTransportation available! The Standards were created to give corporate travel buyers a more harmonized approach for requesting information on ground transportation suppliers’ sustainability practices, such as electric vehicle (EV) usage and customer experience, carbon emissions, #ESG certifications and labels, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Talk about a Sustainability Success Story 👏🏽🎉 Thank you Beth Dooley for traveling to GBTA | Europe 2024 in the most sustainable route! 🌍 Can’t wait to see you in Copenhagen!

📢 BIG NEWS: The Sustainable Procurement Standards for Ground Transportation are now available for #free download! 💡 WHAT This is the third set of standards following the release of Aviation and Hotel criteria earlier this year and delivers upon the commitment to accelerate clean transportation in the #businesstravel sector. The #SustainableProcurement Standards and the accompanying educational guide were developed in collaboration with the GBTA | Sustainability Committee and a working group of buyers, suppliers, and experts representing an estimated 18% of global car rental market share. 💡 WHY ✅Ground transportation is a key vertical for business travel. Travelers spent $154 billion on ground transportation services in 2023 according to the GBTA Business Travel Index Outlook. Travel managers are increasingly bringing this vertical into their #managedtravel programs to support not only #sustainability objectives, but also access to data, duty of care, and traveler wellbeing. ✅ If you’re a business #travelmanager: This resource will help you better understand, and more efficiently evaluate, your current and prospective suppliers’ sustainability efforts. ✅ If you’re a business #travelsupplier: The Standards will help you better prepare for RFPs, and more effectively communicate your sustainability initiatives to meet the growing demand for more responsible practices.
