Manage episode 438248949 series 3340929
In this episode, we talk to Delphine Millot, Senior Vice President for Advocacy & Sustainability at Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), who shares insights into GBTA’s initiatives to promote sustainability in business travel and the challenges faced by the industry.
Millot also serves as the Managing Director of the GBTA Foundation, which serves as the charitable arm of GBTA, focusing on workforce development, women empowerment, and addressing climate challenges in the business travel sector.
Millot discusses:
- The role of GBTA in developing global sustainable procurement criteria for business travel, covering various sectors including aviation, hotels, and ground transportation.
- The significant impact of business travel on corporate emissions, with some companies seeing up to 80% of their scope 3 emissions coming from business travel.
- The importance of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in decarbonising aviation and GBTA’s efforts to promote corporate investment in SAF certificates.
- Regional differences in sustainability efforts, with Europe leading the way due to cultural awareness, infrastructure, and regulatory pressures.
- The collaboration between travel managers and sustainability teams within companies to drive meaningful change in business travel practices.
Throughout the conversation, Millot emphasises the need for a balanced approach to sustainability in business travel, acknowledging its importance while recognising the essential role of travel in global business. Looking to the future, she discusses GBTA’s upcoming acceleration challenge for the global business travel industry, which aims to track and encourage progress in sustainable travel practices.
