The Green Business Travel Toolkit
Frequent businessmen are most likely to be found going from one place to another. The common means of travel will most likely be through air. However, there have been clamors for reducing the carbon emissions for this kind of travel. But thanks to efforts and studies from renowned universities, Manchester Metropolitan University, Cranfield and Cambridge, an alternative way of green travel can be done through this toolkit named Icarus.
The toolkit – called Icarus – is available free of charge online for users to download.
It includes:
Environmental travel policy guidelines Recommended CO2 measurement tools A list of video conference facilities around the UK Video conference practical training exercises CO2 ready reckoner FAQs and useful links The toolkit informs business travel buyers and suppliers of environmental concerns and possible courses of action to reduce their carbon footprint. The intention of Icarus in the first instance is to respond to the trend for increasing corporate social responsibility in business and to encourage and help the UK travel industry to reduce carbon emissions in line with government targets.
