TripActions launches ‘carbon impact’ tool

TripActions has added a new feature to allow users to view their carbon footprint at both corporate and traveller level. From today, users can opt in to leverage TripActions’ mileage data and reporting to gain a clearer picture of their company’s carbon footprint and to help travellers learn about their individual footprint. The business travel platform said it will provide travel managers, finance, HR and operations leaders the opportunity “to address growing traveller concerns over their carbon footprint”. The launch follows its own survey of 1,200 travellers last month, where 80 per cent of respondents said they were very or somewhat concerned about the impact of business travel on the environment. Meanwhile, 61 per cent of survey respondents said it was important for their employer to offset their business travel.
