Business Travel Show Europe has signed the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge and is committed to halving carbon emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050.
Working with strategic partner isla, Business Travel Show Europe and parent company Northstar Travel Group are committing to supporting the net zero goal to inspire change in the travel, meetings and hospitality sectors and champion future sustainable growth.
Part of this commitment will see the return of the Ethical Travel Trail to this year’s show, which takes place on 29-30 June 2022 at ExCeL London. The trail highlights the exhibitors and conference sessions able to help buyers travel further and faster on their sustainability journey.
The Ethical Travel conference sessions will examine issues across sustainability, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance).
Before the end of 2023, Business Travel Show Europe will publish its pathway to achieving net zero by 2050, including an interim target in line with the Paris Agreement’s requirement to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50 per cent by 2030.
“This year, we will measure and track GHG emissions according to industry best practice,” confirmed Louis Magliaro, BTN Group Executive VP.
“The data outcomes will inform future decision-making and support us to drive more effective collaboration with partners and suppliers to reduce emissions, as well as use the learnings to facilitate and encourage positive change among our supply chain and exhibitors.”
Business Travel Show Europe returns as a fully face-to-face event at ExCeL London on 29-30 June 2022 alongside The Meetings Show and TravelTech Show.
