Travel data solution provider Travelogix is incorporating Thrust Carbon's Carbon Calculator into its platform as part of a deepening partnership between the two companies, Thrust announced.
With the integration, Travelogix will broaden its sustainability reporting capabilities beyond DEFRA metrics, and it will be able to offer clients a range of methodologies including ICAO, IATA and Thrust's methodology. "The current limitations" of DEFRA reporting made the calculator integration "an absolute must due to the complexities and accuracies of the data for interested [travel management companies]," according to Travelogix founder and CEO Chris Lewis.
At the same time, the companies are introducing a seamless automation for providing Thrust with clean travel data directly from Travelogix's Analytix data management suite. That will approve accuracy and efficiency of sustainability reporting, letting companies set targets and carbon budgets and receive recommendations on how to reduce their carbon footprint, according to Thrust.
Netherlands-based corporate travel agency Munckhof will pilot the calculator integration, while U.K.-based Norad Travel will pilot the automated data transfer capabilities.
Travelogix in August 2022 announced a partnership with Thrust to provide TMC travel data to be processed as emissions data by Thrust.
