Despite rising costs, travel managers and business travelers are willing to incorporate not only the usual expenses into their travel budgets, but also environmental impact.
Some 32% of all travel planners consider it to be reasonable to use carbon-offset programs, which offset CO2 emissions through compensation payments. Another 39% want to wait for corresponding offers when costs for environmental impact between airlines and travelers are split. This is the result of a current survey of AirPlus Community members that was completed yesterday.
The results show that only 29% of those who responded do not consider carbon offsetting to be necessary or do not feel that it is part of their area of responsibility.

Traveling responsibly is the future…and we are on the “tipping point.” It’s just smart business because afterall, we can do “well” by doing “good”. More companies today embrace the responsibility to make a positive impact on the environment both physically and socially.
In the new CSR report distributed by AirPlus, it is obvious that AirPlus is a company doing just that: embracing the future and being a responsible corporate citizen. AirPlus offsets its own global carbon emissions, while also offering customers an easy, turn-key solution to do so as well.
But it stretches beyond that one goal and it’s nice to see a company like AirPlus committed to reaching beyond it. Well done, and continue to strive for excellence!
