GBTA Foundation
Promoting A Responsible Business Travel Supply Chain!
To help standardize the procurement and supplier management process, the GBTA Foundation in collaboration with the Sustainability Committee has released the new GBTA Sustainable Procurement Standards resource for aviation. It’s an open-source, industry-wide set of sustainability questions to assess suppliers’ People and Planet efforts in a consistent and harmonized manner.
These standards will better prepare suppliers to respond to buyer ESG requests, which will save time and improve efficiency within the RFx process. The resource also gives buyers a standard framework for assessing the People and Planet practices of current or potential vendors, partners, and suppliers. GBTA New Report Made Possible by BCD Travel

AI is transforming our lives in countless ways both personally and professionally. “The Big Idea” sessions conducted at the previously held GBTA APAC and GBTA Europe conferences addressed what AI means for our industry. This report represents the collated feedback from the 700+ travel industry professionals across Europe and APAC who participated in the sessions. Read the outcomes in the report available here in the GBTA Hub or via the BCD website.
