In a major step towards promoting sustainable corporate travel and event planning, hubli has joined forces with BeCause, a technology startup that is revolutionizing the management of sustainability data within the global hospitality, travel, and tourism sectors. This partnership marks the dawn of a new era in responsible corporate event organization and group accommodation, in line with the increasing demand for eco-conscious travel alternatives.

Elevating Sustainable Hotel Selection

This expanded collaboration is a game-changer, enabling hubli to integrate more than 25,000 eco-certified hotels into its platform. This feature provides clients with a transparent view of a hotel’s environmental impact, enabling them to make well-informed decisions that align with their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies. By incorporating BeCause’s sustainability API, real-time sustainability data from over sixty Travalyst-recognized certifications can be directly mapped to hotels on hubli’s platform. Clients gain access to crucial information such as energy and water usage, helping them identify properties that adhere to globally recognized sustainability standards.

Meeting the Growing Demand for Sustainable Business Travel

Research from the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) underscores the increasing importance of sustainable business travel. With 73% of corporate travel managers already communicating or planning to discuss sustainable travel options with employees, this partnership is timely. It streamlines the process of making sustainable choices for meetings and group hotel bookings by offering real-time sustainability data at the booking stage.

Enhancing Transparency and Empowering Customer Choice

Hubli’s acclaimed sustainability module already allows users to plan meetings based on minimal carbon consumption, book sustainable venues, and eliminate high-waste items such as single-use plastics. Prior to partnering with BeCause, hubli supported hotels and venues in uploading third-party sustainability accreditations and connected with environmental certification bodies like Green Key. The collaboration with BeCause takes this a step further by automating the accreditation process for over 25,000 hotels via an API while still providing the option for non-hotel venues to manually upload their accreditations.

A Dedication to Sustainable Corporate Solutions

Ciaran Delaney, Founder and CEO of hubli, underscores the company’s commitment to offering global enterprises the quickest, most cost-effective, and sustainable meeting solutions. The partnership with BeCause represents a strategic move to automate and expand the availability of sustainable hotel content on a global scale. Frederik Steensgaard, CEO and co-founder of BeCause, also emphasizes the potential of this alliance in enhancing the accessibility and visibility of diverse hotel sustainability data, efficiently catering to hubli’s enterprise client base.

In conclusion, the collaboration between hubli and BeCause marks a significant leap in the realm of sustainable corporate travel and event planning. By harnessing cutting-edge technology and comprehensive sustainability data, this partnership is poised to redefine how companies approach responsible travel and meetings, harmonizing business requirements with environmental stewardship.
