Protecting our planet plays an increasingly important role when it comes to business travel. More and more companies are setting targets, committed to reducing or offsetting their business travel-related emissions.

Dependable data, however, is a must for the calculation of these emissions. AirPlus, leading international provider of business travel payment and data management solutions, now offers companies a solution for calculating business travel-related emissions: AirPlus Green Reports.

“Acting in an environmentally friendly way has long been a matter of course for many companies: Our AirPlus Green Reports provide transparent detailed analyses of a company's business travel, which can be used as the basis for emissions calculations” says AirPlus Managing Director Yael Klein.

The new solution automatically calculates the corresponding emission values for each

business trip that is paid for on the centrally settled AirPlus Company Account, no matter what travel services were used: flights, rail travel, rental cars or hotel room nights. An management summary provides a quick overview of the most important key figures, with detailed spreadsheets for those wanting more information.

Precise data allows for source-based allocation of the emissions – by department, cost center or project number, for example. Geographical statistics for routes with the highest emission levels or the average level of emissions per mode of transport can also be easily compiled.
