Working Towards Sustainable Recovery

As we know, business travel isn’t all Champagne and business-class seats. In fact, for many, it’s never that, and on the negative side, extensive travel can impact our health and wellbeing. Despite the personal and professional stresses we have witnessed during this lockdown, it has also given many of us the chance to take a break from the daily grind.

We have proven that flexible working is possible – we can be productive while spending time with loved ones – but once the lockdown ends, will we return to the way we were?

Before the pandemic, corporations were working towards sustainability. To drop a few names, Amex GBT, Booking.com, SAP Concur, Microsoft and Mastercard are all on this journey with their business strategy aligning with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria.

A high ESG score is not only good for the environment, but for business too.

Share prices often increase as sustainability commitments are made and employee satisfaction and engagement improves.
