The travel industry has work to do when it comes to carbon emission reduction. Business travel managers will shape the future by stimulating demand for sustainable partners.

Hotels by 2021 had reduced emissions by 10 percent compared to 2015. That said, net zero remains a distant goal for most suppliers.
