  16. About ENDS • The ENDS Report has been covering environmental business and policy since 1978 • We provide in-depth analysis for regulators and businesses • The ENDS report bulletin, ENDS Europe Daily, the ENDS Europe Report, the Legal Compliance Manager, conferences

  17. About ENDS

  18. Why business travel? • Growing issue – economic and environmental concerns coming together • Being mentioned in conferences – IBM, Accenture, WWF survey • Some companies are doing a lot, but this is a new area for most • Conflict between wanting to look green externally and ingrained culture of business travel

  19. Where to start? • Difficult – no consistent data, major research or government policy • All roads led to the Institute of Travel Management and WWF! • Interviewed businesses, industry bodies, campaigners, the Department for Transport

  20. Emissions from major firms

  21. Carbon Disclosure Project • Scope 3 emissions – not many companies looking at this yet • Confusion and inconsistency among those that are • Lots of work to do! • But indications that this business travel is next on the agenda

  22. Business travel coming under the spotlight • Attention has so far been focussed on leisure travel – “binge flying” • But increased pressure on businesses – WWF campaign • Economic situation – biggest catalyst of all?

  23. Barriers • Company cars and air miles still seen as major perks/status symbols • Public transport seen as second best/expensive • Measuring and reporting • Lack of integrated approach within businesses

  24. Accenture – case study • Accenture has employed someone specifically to integrate work on business travel • It is working on a target to reduce business travel/carbon dioxide emissions • It has installed telepresence – this has been booked solid since it launched

  25. Lack of leadership from the DfT • Has done videoconferencing, but has never publicised this • Could not give figures on amount of travel abroad • No minister has given a speech on the business benefits of not travelling! • Transport Scotland leading by example

  26. The future? • Telepresence – payback within a year • Teliris visit – usage of rooms up 25% between September and November • Cracks already showing – BAA statistics, Luxury Travel magazine

  41. <footer text> <footer text> “under 10% of travel managers fully understand the implications of the latest corporate manslaughter legislation, despite acknowledging that responsibility for company traveller safety rests with them…… ….79% of companies do not require employees to sign that they have read and understand the company’s travel policy, thereby creating grounds for a potential legal challenge should something go wrong” ITM Research 42
