FCM, a globally recognized travel management company, will join the BT4Europe working groups to focus on spearheading sustainable business travel practices. Specifically, FCM’s Global Sustainability Lead, Glenn Thorsen, is joining the BT4Europe Sustainability Working Group. This set of dedicated professionals will be addressing the challenges and recent legislations put in place for business travel.

Together, we aim to lead the way in promoting eco-friendly business travel practices and making carbon emissions data more accessible and transparent within the industry.»
