Though some companies are beginning to dial back efforts to offset
their environmental impact in light of the current economic
environment, many other organizations are moving full steam ahead
and are as committed as ever to reducing their carbon
footprints.
Within the past few years, questions about environmental impact
and emissions have snaked their way into RFPs and suppliers of all
stripes have taken to touting their green credentials, but
incorporating green concerns into corporate travel buying can be a
challenge in a difficult economy.
In addition, there remains a lack of consensus and standardization
when it comes to measuring emissions, validating the effectiveness
of carbon-offset programs and assessing suppliers’ green
credentials, but environmentally friendly travel management remains
an important goal of many travel managers.

a key internal stakeholder in your company’s efforts to incorporate
a more environmentally friendly travel management program.
