First, Olivia Ruggles-Brise, VP of Sustainability, discusses how sustainability is embedded into BCD’s DNA. In the 20-minute episode, she explains how sustainability is more than just carbon, emissions and reducing plastics. Ruggles-Brise dives into the work we’re doing to identify and mitigate risks related to managed travel programs and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) concerns. She also connects sustainability to wellness, savings, community engagement, and other areas where we all can drive change for our industry.
In a HOT TAKE mini episode, Erin Singleton, Senior Director, Marketing and Communications, Advito, discusses the consultancy’s sustainable collaboration practice, a set of focused services that help companies address the environmental impact of business travel and meet their company-wide goals through data insights; customized strategies based on that business intelligence; and traveler engagement. She also pointed to how Advito developed and is using the industry’s first environmental quality of service index (eQSI), a fair market share calculation that allows travel managers to factor an airline’s fleet efficiency into sourcing engagements.
