Altour UK, part of Internova Travel Group, has formed a
partnership with Thrust Carbon to enable clients to purchase carbon offsets.
Available as a subscription to all existing and new clients
from January 2022, the sustainability platform created through the partnership
will allow Altour clients to access offsetting projects such as forestry and
conservation, comprehensive emissions data to allow them to analyse their
travel footprint, and sustainability consultations that align with the Science
Based Targets initiative.
Altour said it hopes to help pave the way for more
sustainable solutions for its corporate clients, who it said are concerned
about reducing and tracking their carbon footprint.
Maria Baty, MD of Altour UK, said: ※Sustainability is the
word on everyone*s lips right now 每 but what matters most is action. As a
travel management company, we must be accountable when it comes to what we
contribute to the sustainability landscape. That means re-evaluating where and
how we can make a meaningful impact through our partnerships.
※Equally, our clients need personal accountability for their
own travel plans. Partnering with Thrust Carbon will enable our clients to take
their sustainability strategies to the next level and provide a transparent account
of how they can enact positive change within their businesses.§
Thrust Carbon has partnered with other players in the
corporate travel and meetings space, including Troop, ATPI and Advantage Travel
Partnership.
