Demand is increasing to deliver sustainable travel choice for both work and pleasure. Consumers are more likely to not only expect to see sustainable travel options, but for those to be delivered by companies which themselves operate sustainably. Working in partnership with other innovative sustainability platforms such as Plan A and Lune, Visa is helping companies learn more about the impact of their operations, and how to reduce it to future-proof their business and stay competitive in managing their net zero journey.
To complement this, the Visa Sustainability Index helps businesses better understand the drivers and choices made by sustainably-minded consumers, making it easier to deliver the right level of service and expectation in a sustainable travel offering.
