During this years Travel Convention 2022, ABTA – The Travel Association and Deloitte launch a Climate Action Guidebook which outlines how businesses can lead the way to decarbonisation and make travel and tourism more sustainable.
The manual will help business leaders gain technical knowledge and understanding on carbon reduction and the practical steps their businesses can follow to take action.
The guidebook provides:
- Insight on current carbon reporting and reduction targets required as part of reaching the UK’s net-zero targets;
- Information on climate-related risks and how to manage them;
- Guidance on how businesses can measure their carbon footprint; and
- Ways to approach a net-zero commitment.
As well as industry-specific insight and case studies, there is also a strong emphasis on the importance of travel leaders working collaboratively on decarbonisation.
The guide is aimed at businesses of all shapes and sizes, recognising that every corner of the industry has a part to play in reducing carbon emissions across the travel supply chain.
It also includes new data on consumer attitudes towards climate change; 71% of UK consumers believe that climate change is an emergency, and 57% are changing their activities or purchasing habits to help address it1.
ABTA and Deloitte have been working together over the last year, to produce this Guidebook looking at the practical steps industry needs to take to decarbonise travel, and what we need from leaders of travel businesses to make that happen. CEOs and sustainability leads from ABTA Members have contributed to the collaboration and guidebook.
A copy of the guidebook can be found here.
