Concur Travel, the SAP-owned provider of integrated travel and expense management solutions, has become the first online booking tool to integrate emissions calculations assured to the new ISO 14083 standard.
The standard allows for consistent calculation and reporting of global logistics greenhouse gas emissions across air, rail, car and freight. Concur Travel’s initiative has been developed through its partnership with Thrust Carbon.
Concur Travel says this marks a big step forward in providing accurate and consistent emissions data for customers at the point of booking and that the integration provides customers with reliable and globally recognised sustainability metrics, enabling organisations to align with incoming international standards.
Charlie Sultan, Concur Travel president, SAP Concur said: “At SAP Concur we understand that sustainability is no longer a ‘nice to have’ but rather a business imperative. By becoming the first online booking tool to integrate emissions calculations tied to the ISO 14083 standard, we’re empowering our customers with the accurate and consistent data needed to make informed decisions and for reporting. Partnering with Thrust Carbon, we’re proud to lead the way in sustainable travel innovation and help businesses navigate emerging regulations.”
Kit Aspen, founder of Thrust Carbon added: “The travel industry is evolving rapidly, and we are working hard to make sure it evolves sustainably. ISO 14083 unites our industry under a single rigorous standard, which allows us to reduce uncertainty, increase consistency, and focus on the push to net-zero. We are so proud to partner with a leading organisation like SAP Concur to provide their vast user base with the very best travel sustainability data.”
