Sabre and Google have joined forces to use GooglesTravel Impact Model TIMfor the first time to calculate past emissions from business travel.
The joint pilot programme saw a team of Google analysts using Sabres 2023 business travel data to calculate flight-level corporate travel emissions and recommend strategies for future reductions.
The projects findings will empower Sabre to help set realistic reduction targets and optimise travel efficiency.
Taking responsibility for our own emissions, striving towards the most accurate methodology and working on innovative ways to reduce emissions alongside traditional methods are areas of focus for us. We hope this programme can inform and provide insights that can help other companies reduce their emissions from business travel, said Jessica Matthias , Global Sustainability Director at Sabre.
Google analysts looked at TIM per flight calculations and suggested CO 2 reductions based on alternative flight options. The analysis revealed that focusing on the most polluting routes could yield the most significant impact.
