Angela Lille, Head of Sustainability Working at BT4EUROPE said:
Here at the Grand Place in Brussels, surrounded by tourists, is the heart of my meetings in Brussels, full of inspiration and collaborative spirit. No matter if you are travelling for business or leisure, it’s all about emotions. How does the traveller feel when faced with the choice between being cost-effective and having to pay more in order to travel sustainably?
Sustainability and the traveller were the central discussion points of the meetings in Brussels in June.
📚 How can a traveller make sustainable decisions when booking travel if the CO2 Emissions of travel services and rail options are not always disclosed at the point of sale?
📊 How can a traveller see improvements in sustainability if several different methodologies for measuring CO2 Emissions exist?
📰 How can companies support their travellers and encourage the travel and tourism industry to speed up the green transformation?
I want to thank Teodora Marinska at the European Travel Commission for the collaborative approach and strong commitment to making business travel more sustainable.
I’m grateful for a dynamic exchange of views on corporate customers and rail travellers on business trips with Ethem Pekin and Blaz Pongracic from the Community of European Railways and Infrastructure Companies (CER).
It was a pleasure to meet Denise Auclair, Erin Vera and Victor Thévenet from Transport & Environment and Travel Smart, and discuss sustainability solutions with digital tools, best practices and corporate policies.
