🛤 Sport Positive Summit 2024 partner Travel Places | B Corp™ hosted a sustainability day yesterday, bringing together sports to reduce travel impact 🎽 Our current reality is that from grassroots to elite sport, we live in a world where travel is baked in. Exchanging, learning and progressing ideas to reduce this impact is crucial, and there is lots of work to be done 💡 Reduction ideas discussed included looking holistically at cadence and duration of business trips and competitions calendars, targeting lower emissions travel routes, targeting sustainable hotels, internal carbon pricing/budget and more 🏨 One stat that blew our mind was that 1 night in a luxury hotel with no eco-credentials = 75kg CO2e. But 1 night in a nice hotel that takes its footprint seriously can be just 3kg CO2e. Big savings to be made. ❓ How are you working to reduce your travel impact? #sportpositive Lucy Brooks Matt Warren
What an insightful day yesterday as we gathered some of our sports and media clients, alongside sustainability and travel experts at the London Heathrow Marriott for our sustainable travel event. From air travel to sustainable accommodation and data to driving positive change, we discussed a range of topics aimed at supporting our clients to turn their sustainability goals into reality. A huge thank you 🙏to Marriott International and British Airways for supporting us in holding this event, to Claire Poole for moderating our panel discussion, and the fantastic speakers who took time from their busy schedules to help us all learn, collaborate, discuss and share ideas around sustainable travel.
