FCM is partnering with CAPA Centre for Aviation to pair CAPA's airline sustainability ratings data along with its own methodology to help clients meet sustainability goals, the travel management company announced.
FCM Consulting is tapping the CAPA-Envest Airline Sustainability Benchmarking Report, which currently ranks 100 airlines on 10 "sustainability parameters" that analyse emissions performance across carriers' entire network and operations.
Envest Global, the team behind the ratings, is led by David Willis and Brett Mitsch. Corporate travel technology expert, Johnny Thorsen acts as the data firm’s strategic advisor.
FCM said it is the only global TMC to have access to the report's data.
The data enables FCM "to be a step ahead" in emissions measurement for clients, according to FCM Consulting sustainability lead Glenn Thorsen, with the ability to advise on broader strategic decisions such as how to allocate the budget to airlines that perform better in the index.
"In this rapidly evolving area, it is critical to be able to access independently evaluated industry data pulled from credible, audited reports," Thorsen said in a statement.
"Being able to tap into a global airline sustainability rating system is invaluable and will form the cornerstone of an already robust service offering that supports our clients on their sustainability journeys."
