GBTA Foundation Launches SAF Corporate Connect to Accelerate Sustainable Aviation Fuel Adoption

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is one of the few viable solutions for companies to reduce their air travel-related emissions ─ and corporate travel managers are increasingly driving demand for SAF. Today the GBTA Foundation launched SAF Corporate Connect, the first comprehensive learning and collaboration hub designed specifically to help the corporate travel industry community.

Developed with the support of the GBTA Sustainability Partners and unveiled today during Climate Week NYC, SAF Corporate Connect aims to break down barriers to SAF adoption by offering guidance for corporate travel buyers on SAF purchasing options, timely market intelligence and up-to-date information, and a collaborative forum for peer exchange and knowledge sharing.

“Successfully implementing SAF at scale is a shared investment across the industry. When it comes to the complex world of SAF, corporate travel managers need practical tools to build strong business cases and engage internal stakeholders,” said Delphine Millot, Senior Vice President, Advocacy and Sustainability, GBTA, and Managing Director at the GBTA Foundation.

Explore the SAF playbook and other resources and register here for the upcoming webinar ─ SAF Playbook: Lessons from Corporate Sustainability and Travel Teams ─ on Wednesday, October 29th, at 10:00am EST.
