Seed Group partner BizAway’s solutions making sustainable business travel a reality

In the wake of the upcoming COP28 to be held in Dubai, we take a look at sustainability and its importance across sectors

In the times when businesses are increasingly becoming aware of their environmental impact, the need for sustainable solutions in every aspect of operations has become paramount. One such area that often goes unnoticed is business travel, a necessity for many companies, yet a significant contributor to carbon emissions. Recognising this challenge, BizAway, a strategic partner of Seed Group, a company of the Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, is working towards providing a comprehensive solution to businesses seeking to align their travel practices with sustainability goals.

The Challenge: Carbon emissions in business travel

As the world gears up for COP 28, scheduled in the UAE from November 30 to December 12, 2023, the focus on sustainable practices has never been more crucial. The increasing carbon emissions and environmental challenges like climate change and global warming are all presenting a dilemma for companies seeking to balance the convenience of air travel with the urgent need to address their environmental impact. Balancing profits with sustainability is a challenge in and of itself. So, how should businesses deal with it?
