Environmental issues are now on everyone's minds, in companies and among their employees. However, to move from words to deeds, we sometimes need a carrot, a stimulus. That's why HCorpo's parent company, the Gekko Group, has launched the Miles & Act programmepresented as the first motivational platform for responsible business travel.
Gekko, an Accor subsidiary since the end of 2017, offers companies of all sizes and in all sectors a solution to adapt their consumption patterns by rewarding the responsible behaviour of their business travellers. " Each and every one of us can, at our own level, decide that our responsibilities and initiatives will have positive and virtuous consequences." said Elodie Noriant, Managing Director of Miles & Act.
Through Miles & Act, travellers collect miles based on compliance with stimulation rules defined by each client company. These rules may include a number of criteria relating to 'green' travel and the duty of care, but also the savings made by the company, compliance with its travel policy or the adoption rate of its approved travel partners.
Using an electric vehicle, staying in accommodation that complies with the duty of care, booking an economy class flight or a hotel at a price below the standards set by the company: all the miles earned by travellers will be convertible on the Miles & Act platform. All this gives access to individual awards and a catalogue of eco-responsible products, as well as group awardsThese include donations to environmental or charitable organisations, company foundations or carbon offset projects...
While this programme is designed to welcome players in the accommodation, air and car rental sectors, as well as other suppliers to the business travel industry, it is only logical that HCorpo should be the first partner of Miles & Act. Audrey Serror describing the desire to use him " to provide our customers with a simultaneous response to three essential objectives: to give the company the ability to achieve savings that are tracked and monitored on a daily basis in the Hospitality purchasing category, to pass on the benefits of our expertise to our customers, and to make the most of our expertise. from a coercive to a positive approach and responsible for booking accommodation and, as never before, support companies in their duty to protect travellers."
