BCD releases white paper on responsible travel management
BCD Travel hsd released a white paper calling for its clients to implement responsible travel management policies and procedures.
The white paper advises clients how to take a strategic approach to creating travel programmes that integrate with their organisations’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) goals and stakeholder requirements.
It claims the white paper looks beyond the “greening of travel” to broaden readers’ perception of the role business travel can play in furthering their organisations’ CSR goals.
Earlier this week, BCD Travel released its own internal CRS Principles.
Mary Ellen George, general manager of BCD Travel’s independent consulting division, Advito, which provided research for the white paper said: “It is crucial for companies to look closely at all the CSR directives that can be integrated in their travel programme.
“If they think their work is done by installing a carbon calculator and choosing a carbon offset partner, they will miss important social and ethical components.”
