Direct Travel, one of the world’s largest travel management companies, has published its Direct Impact Report, demonstrating its credentials in helping clients achieve sustainability objectives.
Covering key reporting metrics from the 2025 calendar year, the report lays an important foundation for measuring future progress as Direct Travel continues to expand its global capabilities across corporate and speciality travel, including for its energy and marine clientele.
The report demonstrates how the company is embedding responsible business practices and building long-term value for clients, employees, suppliers and the communities it serves, while supporting a more sustainable and responsible future for the industry.
Beyond its own climate reporting, Direct Travel continued to help clients take greater control of their travel emissions across operations. The company helped clients adopt Thrust Carbon’s emissions measurement platform, providing access to reliable, granular data to inform their sustainability strategies. By enhancing access to flight, hotel, rail and car hire emissions data within existing travel programmes, clients gained greater visibility of their travel footprint and a more consistent approach to sustainability reporting.
Direct Travel expanded access to sustainability insights, helping organisations embed emissions data into day-to-day travel management and make more informed decisions. As sustainability expectations continue to rise, organisations increasingly require accurate, accessible data to support reporting requirements, policy decisions and strategic programme planning.
The company also expanded its partnerships across the aviation ecosystem to improve access to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for industry travel. As demand for sustainable travel solutions grows, Direct Travel continues to play an active role in helping clients understand emerging decarbonisation pathways and make informed decisions aligned with their sustainability goals.
Among the collaborations highlighted in the report are partnerships with fuel producers including CFP Energy and Neste, as well as major airlines including Delta Air Lines, aimed at strengthening understanding of SAF’s role in corporate sustainability strategies.
Jeroen Van Hest, SVP, Strategy Execution & ESG Lead at Direct Travel, said: “Sustainability is embedded in the way we do business, shaping how we support our colleagues, serve our clients, collaborate with suppliers, and partner across our network. We also believe that innovation plays a vital role in creating a more sustainable future, helping us find smarter ways to operate, reduce our impact, and deliver greater value. For us, sustainability is not about perfection, but about making more responsible choices every day, continuously improving, embracing new ideas, and helping our clients make informed, sustainable business decisions through the insights and expertise we provide.”
This is the first report following Direct Travel’s acquisition of ATPI, bringing together its sustainability and social impact activity from across the expanded organisation.
