Corporate
clients of TripActions and its recent acquisition Reed & Mackay can now buy sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) directly for use in their business travel as part of the TMC's newly announced partnership with leading global producer Neste.
Neste
MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel is made from sustainably sourced renewable waste
and residue raw materials. In its neat form and over the lifecycle, the
producer claims the fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80 per cent compared
with fossil jet fuel use.
Ariel
Cohen, TripActions’ co-founder and CEO, said, “As a group, TripActions strongly
believes in supporting the sustainability efforts of our customers. SAF has
emerged as one of the most promising lower-emission alternatives to fossil fuel
and…TripActions is proud to help increase its availability to our customers in
support of their science-based targets.”
“As
businesses return to travel, the TripActions Group-Neste partnership adds
another component to our comprehensive toolkit that enables clients to place
sustainability at the heart of their travel programmes, while continuing to move
across borders, connect cultures, and stimulate the global economy,” said Fred
Stratford, CEO at Reed & Mackay.
“Business
travel is resuming again, making it more urgent than ever for companies to
minimise their climate impact,” said Thorsten Lange, executive vice president
of renewable aviation at Neste. “I hope that this new agreement with our
partner TripActions will encourage many companies around the world to follow.
To combat climate change, we must act now.”
