Reed & Mackay, the travel and event management company, announced a strengthened commitment to delivering the most sustainable travel options to clients. The comprehensive integration of CO2 data into Reed & Mackay’s platform gives travelers the ability to make sustainable choices at each step of their booking experience and allows travel managers to view and manage the carbon footprint of their program alongside other key performance metrics.
Reed & Mackay, according to the announcement, has long been a champion of sustainability — both in how it operates as a business and in how it enables clients to make responsible and cost-effective travel decisions. In recent years, said the announcement, the TMC has engineered cutting-edge technology paired with in-house consulting and expertise to help clients understand their carbon footprint throughout their travel journeys.
Chris Truss, global sustainability director, said, “Our continued investments provide our clients with customized strategies and innovations that enable the most informed and responsible decision-making. This ultimately drives behavioral change, and helps clients meet sustainability goals within their corporate travel programs.”
The new CO2 features, said the announcement, enable organizations to design and implement custom travel policies along with a corresponding approval flow based on projected CO2 emissions across air, rail and ground travel, as well as hotel stays. This enhancement gives travelers better visibility of travel options that are ‘in policy,’ whether booking via R&M/Book or with a Reed & Mackay consultant.
Fahim Khan, global director of product, said this latest sustainability-focused tool “brings data, partnership-led service, and technology together to deliver market-leading user experiences and value for our clients.”
