TMC goes for green
Portman Travel unveils ‘Responsibly Portman’ Corporate Responsibility (CR) initiative
Portman Travel has unveiled a wide-ranging Corporate Responsibility (CR) initiative – ‘Responsibly Portman’.
‘Under the new strategy and through partnerships with ClimateCare and ManageCO2, Portman Travel clients are provided with an integrated means of managing their impact on the environment when undertaking business travel.
Portman will capture emissions data, report on and invoice for offset amounts, collect payment, invest funds in a chosen portfolio of projects and provide official certification for its clients.
The new programme will make it hassle free for Portman clients to fulfill their own CR requirements. In partnership with ManageCO2, ‘Responsibly Portman’ will provide clients with the ability to measure the collective impact of their employees when travelling on business.
Also, ‘Responsibly Portman’ offers clients ClimateCare carbon offsets
The TMC itself will play an important part in ‘Responsibly Portman’, using the innovative reporting system provided by ManageCO2 to measure its own carbon footprint and ultimately reduce its impact on the environment.
As part of the programme, Portman Travel will be benchmarking and actively monitoring its own performance in areas such as electricity and gas consumption; recycling and waste management as well as offsetting the travel impact of its own management team. .
Dawn Murphy, Chief People Officer, Portman Travel, said: "This is the first time a UK-based TMC has introduced such a large-scale Corporate Responsibility initiative and thanks to the technology provided by ManageCO2 and the support of ClimateCare, we can reach out to all of our clients and employees and really make a difference."
She continued: "CR is becoming more and more integrated into everything we do and with increasing legislation, is no longer a voluntary option. As a responsible TMC, we are proud to be able to take the lead in the business travel industry with ‘Responsibly Portman’."
