TMC network GlobalStar has announced a new partnership with sustainable travel specialist Trees4Travel.

The agreement will see GlobalStar using Trees4Travel’s carbon management technology to calculate emissions from travel and help to reduce the impact on the environment.

Julian Russell, executive director of IT and supplier relations at GlobalStar, said: “Our partners across the network are already working with our clients to advise and support multiple ESG (environmental, social and governance) initiatives. 

“We wanted to do the same for our organisation. In partnering with Trees4Travel we can not only experience and use their great carbon management technology ourselves, but we can also contribute to something equally as positive through their reforestation programmes.”

GlobalStar’s recent conference for partners added 396 trees to a reforestation programme in Haiti, as well as offsetting 65,000 kilogrammes of CO2 emissions by contributing towards renewable energy projects.

Nico Nicholas, CEO and co-founder of Trees4Travel, added: “The team at GlobalStar are now able to see the power of our technology in action. In staging their partner conference, they benefited from direct integrations into booking systems, API connectivity and simple file uploads. 

“Together we were able to educate their travellers and provide the necessary transitionary tools to begin to get us from where we are today, to our net zero targets in the future – making travel and events ethical and sustainable.”
