Develop a strategic path to net-zero for business travel emissions
Calculating your business travel emissions is one thing; setting reduction targets and making realistic, actionable plans to meet them is another. As a part of CSRD reporting, SBTi or corporate net-zero goals, companies require a plan, but it’s hard to align travel policies with and get stakeholder buy-in for these targets. Thrust Advisory can help you define your goals and translate them into travel policies tailor-made for your business.
Hotspot Analysis
We identify high-emission areas in your travel portfolio, and implement cost-effective, lower emission alternatives right for your business
Net-Zero Feasibility Modeling
We analyze future emission scenarios and pathways to net-zero that align travel emissions to your broader business goals
Decarbonisation Planning
We develop a clear, actionable roadmap to guide policy changes and emissions reduction taking into account the evolving landscapes of SBTi and global regulations
Establish realistic carbon budgets to drive top down behavioral change
Carbon budgets are one of the most effective ways to decarbonize your travel programs—but building them from scratch is demanding. Senior stakeholder buy-in is fundamental and only achieved by aligning realistic carbon budgets to financial objectives—but they do not work without consulting the travelers. Our experts use their experience from implementing carbon budgets at other companies to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.

Reduce your travel emissions by choosing the right supplier
Travel managers are often faced with the challenge of balancing financial cost and carbon cost. Lack of visibility into the sustainability performance of key suppliers makes this even more difficult. Thrust Advisory can help you achieve significant emission reductions with sustainability insights across air and hotel suppliers.
Reduce your air emissions
We analyze your air travel data and identify where you could painlessly save emissions simply by picking the greenest airlines and routes
Find sustainable hotels
Want to find the greenest hotel in every city across three continents? We’ll do the heavy lifting for hotel RfP or travel programme planning
Enrich your data and engage suppliers
Augment your existing data with sustainability scores and certifications. We can even engage directly with key suppliers to gather detailed insights and improve response rates
Simplify your event emissions calculations and showcase your commitment to sustainability
Event organizers are facing increasing pressure to reduce event-related emissions and demonstrate sustainability commitments; but events emissions data is often lacking. On top of this, without clear insights into potential emissions and reduction strategies, planning sustainable events is challenging. With Thrust Advisory, gain insights into your event’s carbon footprint and take actionable steps towards decarbonisation.
Pre-Event Assessment
We identify potential reduction opportunities before the event to help you showcase your commitment to sustainability
Emissions Calculation
Simplify emissions tracking across all event aspects, from attendee travel to on-site activities. If you lack data, we’ll use our extensive database and scientifically-backed calculations techniques to ensure a complete assessment of emissions
Transparent Reporting
We'll help you publish a clear view of your event’s carbon footprint with our bespoke reports to highlight sustainability achievements ("Green Wins") and key strategies for decarbonisation
