BCD Travel provides guidance on formulating such policies, emphasizing the importance of aligning them with evolving trends, regulations, and technologies. Key considerations include:

  • Define Long-Term Sustainability Goals: Establish clear objectives, such as balancing cost with carbon emissions, conserving resources, and promoting responsible travel behaviors.



  • Implement Measurable Strategies: Utilize key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess policy effectiveness, considering factors like class of travel, frequency of trips, and opportunities to replace travel with virtual meetings.



  • Adopt Comprehensive Methodologies: Ensure your approach encompasses various carbon metrics, including emissions from air, rail, car, hotel stays, and even aspects like food waste.
