Survey: Corporate Travel Behaviour And Global Warming


Home

A timely insight into the real impact on corporate travel of rising environmental concerns will be delivered at London’s 2007 Business Travel Show.

 

At a press conference to be held on the event’s first morning, the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE) and KDS, a European leader in on demand travel and expense, will announce the findings of their joint survey into how organisations are adapting their travel behaviour to respond to the challenge of carbon emissions.

 

The results reflect the opinions of over 200 travel managers and business travellers around the world who participated in the survey over the past two months.

 

The ACTE/KDS press conference will be held at 11.45am on Tuesday 13th February in the Hospitality Lounge at Earls Court 2.

 

Senior executives from both organisations will provide a detailed account of how environmental issues are currently prioritised by executives and how travel practice compares to the public debate about carbon emissions.

 

“The response to this survey has been very strong, which confirms that the environment is very much on people’s minds”, says Susan Gurley, Chief Staff Officer and Executive Director of ACTE. “As the leading industry association we believe that carbon emissions are one of the most critical issues before us and feel this research will play a helpful role as companies seek to convert good intentions into good practice.”

 

Stanislas Berteloot, Marketing Director of KDS, says “Given the increasing adoption of online self-booking travel management tools we felt it important to capture the views of business travellers as well as travel managers. This study gives a valuable snapshot of both groups’ views and holds a mirror up to companies as they work to align their CSR and travel policies.”
