Our Approach to Sustainable Business Travel

EDUCATED DECISIONS

Pre-travel, assess your travel impact using our comprehensive Online Booking Tool (OBT) or by connecting with one of our travel experts, who will be happy to investigate eco-friendly or carbon offset options for you. Need to stay aligned with corporate carbon budgets? That’s no problem, as we will work with you to plan a trip that meets your needs and stays aligned with your company’s sustainability targets.

MEASURING IMPACT

The regulatory environment is continuously evolving, which is why we provide granular carbon insights on all aspects of your company’s travel, to help you stay compliant. Powered by the leading carbon impact analysis platform in global travel,you will be able to easily derive data and analysis for every level of your organisation, from interactive dashboards to board-ready reports.  

SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL CARBON OFFSET

If you wish to offset your carbon impact, talk to our experts about connecting with our sustainability partner, so we can help you mitigate your emissions. We will start by deriving granular carbon impact data so you can understand your current output and then support you with offsetting the various aspects of your global travel.

INDUSTRY ADVANCEMENT

The Aviation industry as a whole has committed to being Net Zero by 2050, a commitment we support through our membership of IBEC Aircraft Leasing Ireland and sponsorship of the now annual ALI Global Aviation Sustainability Day.

SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE

Since launching Hannon Travel in 2000, we’ve made every effort to invest in our local communities and our social efforts continue to grow. This year, we are focusing on:

• Our continued sponsorship of Navan RFC | Home (clubifyapp.com)
• Hurling For Cancer Research | Irish Cancer Society, in aid of the Irish Cancer Society
• ACORNS – Accelerating the Creation Of Rural Nascent Start-ups (An accelerator programme aimed at female entrepreneurs in rural Ireland)

PEOPLE-FIRST

People are at the heart of everything we do, from our team members to every traveller we support. We continuously invest in learning and development for our team, so they can navigate their careers happily and with purpose. We offer hybrid, flexible working, powered by the best technology, to ensure our team can offer impeccable customer service hassle-free.  

HEALTH AND WELLBEING

In addition to facilitating a hybrid, flexible workplace, we support our team with health and wellbeing by offering a 24/7 employee assistance programme they can tap into at any time of day, should they need it.

REDUCING ENERGY

In 2023, we conducted a resource management audit at Hannon Travel to reduce our usage and encourage sustainable energy practices within the business. This audit, which aligns with our commitment to sustainable travel, encompassed electricity and water consumption throughout our core building, which operates on a fully electric system with no oil or gas.

Electricity usage is minimised through the use of lighting sensors and minimal printer usage. Water usage is minimal. Glandore, who hosts our UK office, has installed smart lighting sensors, solar panels, and water conservation techniques within their buildings. They are committed to leveraging 100% renewable energy.
