Travelogix has entered into a partnership with carbon offsetting company Trees4Travel.
The deal will initially see Travelogix automate the supply of trip data directly to Trees4Travel to calculate the number of trees that need to be planted to offset the carbon emissions related to each trip booked.
The second phase of the project will allow TMCs and their corporates to visualise the progress of their sustainability programme with Trees4Travel at an agency and client level.
Mark Colley, managing director at Sunways Travel, was crucial in the introduction of Trees4Travel and will be part of the three-way pilot between the companies.
Nico Nicholas, CEO of Trees4Travel said: “Our partnership with Travelogix, made possible by early adopter Sunways Travel, means there is effectively no excuse or justification for any business to not be offsetting their travel carbon from today.
“Travelogix’ adoption of the Trees4Travel system means the calculation, purchase and ongoing monitoring of a company’s carbon footprint is all provided direct to its business travel manager and the corporate clients.”
