How to develop a sustainable travel policy

Although business travel stopped almost entirely during COVID, its return far surpassed projections, and is now close to - or even above pre-pandemic levels. As such, it’s no longer possible to simply look at the past few years’ travel volumes and use that as a benchmark for future emissions. Organisations need to rethink travel to align with ESG goals. Most companies, however, lack a comprehensive strategy for reducing these emissions, despite the availability of tools and frameworks to support sustainability efforts.
