SUSTAINABLE CONSULTING
Sustainable business travel policy & consulting services
Reduce emissions, strengthen policy, and prove you’re making an impact. FCM Consulting helps enterprise travel programmes make sustainability ambitions real, data-backed, and measurable.
How FCM Consulting helps businesses travel sustainably
Cutting business travel emissions takes more than good intentions. Green business travel takes data, strategy, and policy that holds up to scrutiny. FCM Consulting works alongside your existing travel program, whether managed by FCM or elsewhere, giving you the tools and expert guidance you need to make sustainability, sustainable.
What sustainable travel consulting can do for your business
Sustainable corporate travel consulting covers four core areas, each grounded in your data and tailored to your program goals.
Elevate your greener travel strategy
Data, policy expertise, and proven global experience. These are just some of the ways FCM Consulting enhances your green goals.
Data-driven carbon insights
Every recommendation starts with your numbers. We use real travel data to map emissions across air, hotel, and ground, then visualize the picture against your targets. You'll see where impact lives, where the wins are, and what's worth prioritizing.
Policy optimization for ESG goals
Travel policy is one of the most underused tools in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). We model the carbon and cost impact of policy adjustments before you commit, so changes to class of service, routing, and supplier preferences are grounded in evidence, not guesswork.
Global expertise in corporate travel sustainability
FCM Consulting works with clients across multiple regions, sectors, and program sizes. We’ve seen it all, and that experience shapes our advice. Whether you're building a sustainability strategy from scratch or refining a mature program to meet tougher reporting requirements and tighter targets, we’ve got you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a sustainable business travel policy, and why is it important?
A sustainable business travel policy sets clear rules and incentives that reduce the environmental impact of corporate trips. It typically covers preferred suppliers, class-of-service rules, routing preferences, virtual meeting rules, and reporting. A well-designed policy helps reduce emissions, supports sustainability commitments, and gives travellers clear guidance on making the best choices.
-
How does FCM measure the carbon footprint of business travel?
FCM measures business travel emissions using verified data pulled directly from your booked travel activity across air, hotel, and ground. Reports available in FCM Platform give you visibility into CO2e by trip, traveller, route, and supplier. FCM Consulting then helps you not only interpret the data, but also benchmark performance against your targets, and identify where reductions will deliver the biggest impact.
-
Can sustainable travel strategies reduce costs as well as emissions?
Yes, cost and emission reduction often go hand in hand. Choosing direct flights, lower cabin classes for shorter trips, rail over air on viable routes, and consolidated supplier relationships all reduce both spend and emissions. FCM Consulting helps you track and quantify these trade-offs, so sustainability decisions hold up commercially.
-
How do I integrate sustainability into my existing travel program?
You don't need to rebuild your entire program to make it greener. FCM Consulting works with you to weave sustainability into the parts of the program that matter most. That means making sustainable choices easier to book, from preferred low-emission flights to EV (electric vehicle) hire. We’ll align your travel policy with your corporate sustainability goals, putting reporting in place to measure the impact of every change.
