Learn how to get more out of your business travel
How does VMR Travel ensure the credibility of its carbon offsetting programs?
We partner with Trees4Travel, an award-winning environmental "Tech for Good" company. Their unique hybrid model ensures that every tree planted is backed by a United Nations Certified Emission Reduction (CER) renewable energy project carbon credit, guaranteeing that your contributions are both tangible and verified.
Which ESG reporting frameworks does your data support?
Beyond standard emission calculations, our centralised travel data is designed to help firms meet tightening reporting requirements under major global frameworks. This includes supporting disclosures for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
What specific criteria do you use to identify sustainable accommodation?
We go beyond general "green" labels by prioritising properties with recognised third-party certifications. We look for hotels accredited by rigorous sustainability programmes such as Green Key, EarthCheck, and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), ensuring they meet high standards for energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction.
Besides offsetting, what strategies do you recommend for reducing emissions at the source?
We actively help clients lower their gross emissions by integrating specific reduction strategies into their travel policies. This includes promoting the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) where available, prioritising rail over air for short-haul trips, and encouraging the adoption of virtual or hybrid meeting technologies to eliminate unnecessary travel.
