Sustainability & Responsible Travel

Client background

A London-based management consultancy with approximately 400 employees and a mid-sized travel spend of around £600,000 per year.

The firm services global clients and places strong emphasis on ethical and sustainable practices.

Challenges

  • The leadership team was committed to reducing the company’s environmental footprint while maintaining the ability to travel efficiently for client projects.

  • They needed a system capable of tracking carbon emissions, producing sustainability reports, and encouraging travellers to make lower-impact choices.

Our approach

  • Meon integrated Cytric’s sustainability analytics into the client’s booking process, allowing travellers to view the carbon footprint of each journey before confirming a booking. The platform compared flight, rail, and hotel options using carbon data and displayed greener alternatives first.

  • An internal awareness campaign was launched, supported by Meon’s client success manager, to promote responsible travel habits. Departments received monthly dashboards showing their progress in reducing emissions.

  • Corporate hotel and rail partnerships were adjusted to prioritise eco-certified providers and properties with recognised environmental standards.
