French corporate travel group S4BT has agreed a new partnership with sustainability specialist Squake to deliver emissions data for its clients.
S4BT – Solutions for Business Travel – was created last year as a parent company for CDS, alongside online booking tool Goelett, Germany’s Corporate Rates Club (CRC), Travel Media Solution (TMS), enterprise resource planning specialist SIAP, travel finance platform Trevium, and Methodica, which offers services for TMCs and corporates.
The new partnership will see Squake’s services integrated within S4BT’s existing tools and workflows to provide clients with consolidated CO2 emissions data from travel categories including hotel, air, rail and ground transportation, according to the companies.
S4BT clients will gain access to CO2 emissions dashboards and will have the ability to create reports, the companies said in a joint statement. Clients can also “activate” operational levers, such as nudges within the booking tool, to influence traveller decisions.
Additionally, clients can also choose to contribute to Squake’s portfolio of certified climate projects.
Commenting on the partnership, S4BT group CEO Ziad Minkara, said: “We are taking a decisive step forward. We empower our clients to manage their travel programmes with a complete vision, actionable data and tangible impact – financially, operationally and environmentally.”
Squake is featured in BTN Europe’s The Green List, a directory of sustainability specialists dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of business travel.
