Faced with growing demand from business travel professionals for more effective measurement tools in terms ofcarbon footprint, TravelPerk is adding a new solution to the business travel landscape. The well-named GreenPerk was presented on Wednesday, with the aim of enabling companies to " analyse the impact of their business travel and create sustainable travel policies to achieve zero carbon emissions ". " After almost two years of working remotelythe need to return to face-to-face meetings is key to fostering creativity and collaboration within teams "the project leaders note. " At the same time, sustainable development has become a top priority and business leaders are now looking to reduce the impact of their activities on the environment and put in place sound sustainable practices. As a result, companies have never needed more analysis to quantify the environmental impact of travel and hybrid working ".
GreenPerk is aimed at business travellers, who can upload their carbon footprint data to TravelPerk and then offset it. The platform aims to cover all aspects of travel, including air, rail, accommodation and car hire. Companies, for their part, can use the wealth of information centralised by TravelPerk to refine their travel policy, and push for more carbon-efficient choices at the time of booking.
not just reducing travel-related emissions, but integrating this information into a broader approach aimed at tackling the environmental impact of collaboration in a hybrid work environment
