BCD selects carbon off-set partner
BCD Travel has chosen a non-profit company Atmosfair as its global carbon off-set partner.
Atmosfair was initiated as a joint initiative of Forum Anders Reisen, an association of German tour operators formed to promote sustainable tourism, and environmental association Germanwatch.
The company is active in a number of projects, including the use of solar energy to power cookers in Indian rice kitchens, and cleaning and recycling sewage water from a palm-oil factory in Thailand.
The move adds another element to the travel management company’s responsible travel management offering, which integrates solutions in the areas of both sustainability and accountability.
Dee Runyan, executive vice president for products, technology and supplier relations, said: “Our customers continue to focus on maximum savings and maximum efficiency in the management of their travel programmes. But increasingly, they want to get their results with minimum environmental impact.
“Our clients around the world now have the opportunity to incorporate carbon offsetting into their CSR-focused travel programmes. BCD Travel’s ability to globally support a full range of CSR-related activities sets us apart from our competitors’ local or regional approaches.”
Carbon off-setting joins BCD Travel’s carbon emission reporting, recently expanded globally, as two key strands in the company’s sustainable travel management services that help clients evaluate and compensate for the environmental impact of their business travel.
