NEWSFLASH: ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ This week I have had the pleasure to be both a GBTA | Global Business Travel Association Sustainability Champion and Advocate during Convention week here in ATL. I was honoured to be invited to the Climate Leaders Meeting, which was exceptionally led by GBTA Foundation Delphine Millot alongside Fanny Everard & Kelsey Frenkiel and as you will see, the early Monday morning session was attended by many senior industry sustainability leaders pictured. Here we discussed the great many things GBTA has done and continues to do to help accelerate #BusinessTravel role in our mission to reach #NetZero by 2050. Watch this space for more information..or check the link for the great many buyers and suppliers that have contributed and advocate this great initiative: https://lnkd.in/ewJpipKx One of the key initiatives executed by the GBTA | Sustainability Committee which I am happy to have been invited to contribute in the last months is the Sustainable Procurement Standards - specifically the task force concentrated on the #GroundTransportation #CarRental vertical - the release of this vertical will be announced shortly following the successful launch of #Accomodation and #Aviation standards over the last months. Please if you haven’t already, check out and #download the standards and start using them in your next #RFP #RFI #RFQ https://lnkd.in/exFjcpQi #Sustainability #SustainableMobility #SustainableProcurementStandards #GBTA

💡 Here is something to think about: When you get on the plane, know that ONE IN FOUR people have an accessibility need and 85% of disabilities are not visible. As shared during “A seamless journey: The Accessibility Opportunity for Business Travel” educational session at the GBTA Convention 2024, we can take action on accessible travel today. ☝ Suppliers and travel managers should conduct an accessibility self-assessment to benchmark where programs can improve ☝ Travel managers should strengthen systems to transparently collect and confidentially store traveler accessibility information ☝ Travel managers should respond to travelers who disclose their accessibility requirements with a proactive and transparent support structure ☝ Travel managers or buyers should send a demand signal for more accessible facilities and services through the procurement and supplier evaluation process ☝ The business travel industry should collaborate on a universal coding system that conveys more granular accessibility information that travelers commonly need We are thankful for our presenters and everyone who chose to attend this educational session.
