Business travel emissions cutting data initiative unveiled

An initiative to support business travel firms report and cut emissions from client trips has been introduced.

Data management firm Travelogix has forged a strategic partnership with sustainability specialist Thrust Carbon.

Technologies developed by Thrust Carbon are designed to enable companies to reach net-zero through better data, intelligence and software solutions. 

The aim is to automate the reporting of air, rail, hotel, and car hire data from travel management company mid/back office systems and other booking channels to Thrust Carbon via Travelogix. 

Thrust Carbon founder and director Kit Brennan said: “This is a vital step forward to enabling a wide range of TMCs to report, reduce, and remove client emissions with one powerful integration. 

“Data is quite simply the lifeblood of digital transformation. By working so closely with Travelogix, we can provide best in class emissions data for their entire TMC and customer portfolio, effortlessly. Together, we are leading our shared client base to net-zero”  

Travelogix founder and chief executive Chris Lewis added:“This partnership further extends our portfolio of sustainability options to all TMCs we serve.

“We pride ourselves on staying at the forefront of industry and client demands, and themes like duty of care, and of course, sustainability, are right at the top of the agenda for most across the business travel space.

“Thrust Carbon is making big strides when it comes to sustainability and carbon offsetting for TMCs across the business travel market, and we’re delighted with this partnership and what it means more broadly for our clients when choosing a suitable sustainability partner.”
