Energy giant Shell has selected FCM as its global TMC to manage travel across all its businesses with sustainability one of its key goals.
FCM has secured a “multi-year” contract with Shell, which starts this year, following a tendering process and will offer a full range of travel services to the organisation’s travellers.
Julia Sullivan, Shell’s global travel operations manager, said: “We look forward to working with FCM and to leveraging their digital capability and innovative approach.
“Our joint goal is to make a positive difference to our employees’ travel experiences, supporting their wellbeing and empowering them to make more sustainable travel choices.”
Sullivan added that the goal was to establish a travel programme that was “as progressive as possible when benchmarked against environmental, social and governance (ESG) frameworks”
Meanwhile, fellow TMC TripActions has been selected by engineering firm Weir Group as its global travel partner.
Weir Group, which specialises in the mining and infrastructure industries, has a workforce of 11,000 employees and operations across more than 60 countries.
Betty Grogan, Weir’s global travel manager, said: “We took the opportunity during the pandemic, when there was less travel, to re-evaluate our travel programme with the objective to provide a consistent and streamlined travel solution across the organisation.
“First and foremost, it was important we align on employee safety and sustainability benefits, but also to optimise savings, quality and service, and compliance with a single solution.”
