There has never been more pressure on corporations in the United States to report their carbon footprint and outline the measures being taken to reduce emissions.

For a company that is truly concerned with its impact on the environment, it has become obvious that it is not just emissions from internal operations (Scope 1) that need to be considered.

Indirect emissions (Scope 3) are typically 75-90% a company’s total impact on the environment. Of all the emissions generated by a company’s supply chain, employee business travel and transportation are the largest single source of indirect emissions.

Corporate ground transportation is one of the most challenging areas for businesses to reduce emissions.

With no low carbon ‘fix’ for transportation on the horizon, one of the most complex issues that travel buyers face today is securing a high quality, reliable and environmentally-responsible ground transportation supply chain.
