Publishing its first-ever Sustainability Report, ATPI Group, the leading travel management company and partner to the global energy industry has revealed it has achieved carbon neutrality - four years ahead of its 2026 target.
The Sustainability Report 2024 encompassed the Group’s sustainability indicators for the 2023 calendar year, detailing its global activities, performance, and outcomes against essential Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting metrics.
Achieving the milestone of being carbon neutral carbon was attained with the support of the company’s CO2 measurement, reduction, and compensation service, ATPI Halo. In cooperation with Anthesis Group, ATPI has been able to carry out data collection, analysis, and reporting on its Carbon Footprint since 2021 – enabling the Group to implement Co2e reduction methods and compensate all residue Co2e emissions against the company’s ATPI Halo project portfolio.
Sustainability and ESG are critical drivers for ATPI’s global team. Despite a 23% increase in staff recruitment, ATPI successfully reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by almost 10% per full-time-employee (FTE). This totals 3,905 tonnes of emitted CO2e (Scope 1, 2, and 3) across the entire global business in 2023. An internal survey found that 71% of employees believe the Group has a genuine commitment towards sustainability.
