Sustainable Travel Solutions for Corporates
Designing a Net-Zero Corporate Travel Strategy
Set science-based targets for business travel
Anchor your policy to science-based targets that explicitly include Scope 3 Category 6 emissions. Translate high-level goals into trip-level rules, such as rail-first under 800 km and economy-only for flights under six hours. Ask stakeholders to review assumptions, and invite readers here to comment with their current reduction target and time horizon.
Map hotspots and prioritize reductions
Analyze routes, classes of service, cabin factors, and meeting patterns to find your biggest emissions drivers. Many firms discover a handful of short-haul flights create outsized impact compared to rail. Prioritize those lanes first, communicate alternatives clearly, and tell us which routes your team finds hardest to shift.
Secure leadership alignment and traveler buy-in
Sustainable travel policies succeed when executives model the behavior. Publish leadership travel commitments and make progress visible. Engage frequent travelers with early pilots, and fold their feedback back into policy. Share how your leadership signals support, and subscribe for our quarterly stakeholder playbook.

Comment with your favorite agenda design or tool stack.
Reliable Carbon Data for Business Travel
Select consistent emissions factors, such as DEFRA or ICAO, and define well-to-wake versus tank-to-wake for aviation. Document radiative forcing assumptions and class-of-service multipliers. Align with ISO 14064 principles, and invite discussion: which methodologies has your organization adopted for reporting business travel?

Story: A sales team switches to rail
One enterprise sales squad re-routed quarterly visits from short-haul flights to high-speed rail. Deals stayed on track, prep time improved, and emissions dropped by half. What did they change? Earlier departures, onboard work sprints, and overnight returns. Could your team replicate this? Comment with your barriers.
Supplier Partnerships and Sustainable Procurement
Look beyond marketing to fleet efficiency, load factors, and credible SAF certificates with lifecycle boundaries disclosed. Favor carriers publishing well-to-wake methodologies and third-party assurance. Ask your airline reps the hard questions, and share the most useful RFP question you have used.
