Victoire. This is the name of the muse chosen by Uber for Business to play the lead role in his latest white paper. Perhaps this will also be the feeling of business customers after following in the footsteps of this business traveller who aims to reconcile mobility and respect forenvironment. Without sacrificing the fluidity of his route, or his employer's travel budget...".A challenge? Not really. By equipping itself with appropriate solutions and organising itself efficiently, it is taking concrete action to minimise its environmental footprint while maximising its professional activity."The authors of the white paper sum up. The aim of the publication produced by Uber for Business is clearly in tune with the times and is summed up in its title: "Sustainability, profitability and the employee experience: the responsible business traveller's guide".. Over ten pages, readers are invited to take a closer look at the best practices that can help them reduce their carbon footprint, from booking a flight from Paris to New York to managing expense accounts. This naturally includes the use of Uber Greenthe option of racing with electric and hybrid vehicles, and to Uber Reservethe option of booking your journey up to 30 days in advance, so you can travel to the airport with peace of mind and in an eco-responsible way.
Alongside the example of Victoire, the white paper compiles testimonials from various mobility experts who shed light on the options available to travellers and their companies for a more virtuous approach to managing business travel, while making savings... Because while Uber for Business aims to help its business customers on the road to sustainable development, its managers have not forgotten the need to be pragmatic to convince professionals. Franck Monsauret, Director of Uber for Business France, explains: " Uber for Business has set up CO2 emissions reports which are updated every 15 days in comprehensive dashboards. However, our research shows that when it comes to travel, the price remains the number one choice criterion. To be environmentally responsible, you first have to be economically responsible. That's why we're continuing to expand our range of electric and hybrid vehicles, to give our customers a wider choice. Uber Green which is thethe most economical option in France and available on the Uber app".
Behind the environmental issue, the spectrum is much wider, just like the CSR issue itself. And this guide for responsible business travellers bears witness to this: recruiting and retaining talent, traveller safety, regulatory and tax compliance are all issues to be taken into consideration through more virtuous management of business travel. Beyond Uber for Business, there is a whole ecosystem - a "digital arsenal" - that should enable companies to take control of a travel policy based on eco-responsibility. And to manage it using reliable, intelligible and constantly updated data. Hence the importance of a tool like Uber for Business's CO2 emissions reports. Hence, too, the relevance of the links forged between Uber for Business and players such as SAP Concur or AirPlusAs Julien Million-Rousseau from SAP Concur points out, "the issues of payments and expense claims play a decisive role in this visibility, and in the overall experience of Victoire and all business travellers. In fact, as Julien Million-Rousseau from SAP Concur points out: "Under the European CSRD directive, by 2025 European companies with more than 500 employees will have to calculate and publish their CO2 emissions. The time to do this is now. Financial interest, environmental benefits, regulatory obligations, HR pressure... It's time to take action!".
