Industry-wide procurement standards to foster responsible practices In business travel.

The GBTA Sustainable Procurement Standards is a consolidated bank of sustainability questions for procurement that aligns with international sustainability standards.

It enables corporate travel buyers to assess the sustainability efforts of suppliers in a consistent and harmonized manner.

By consolidating procurement criteria in one platform, suppliers will be better prepared to respond to requests.

The Problem We Are Solving

There is a current lack of standardization on the sustainability attributes used for procurement in the business travel industry.

While buyers are not sure what questions to ask and what to do with the information collected, suppliers receive hundreds of different sustainability questionnaires where not all questions are material.

As an industry-wide, open-source solution, the Sustainable Procurement Standards gives corporate travel buyers the tools to make procurement decisions and deliver on their sustainability objectives.

Why Sustainable Procurement?

60% of business travel buyers and suppliers see harmonized standards as a main facilitator of the green transition.
