GBTA Supports CountEmissionsEU Initiative for Harmonised Framework to Measure Greenhouse Gas Emissions
GBTA has issued a statement and filed a position paper in support of the European Commission's initiative to propose a harmonised framework for calculating and reporting greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector, called CountEmissionsEU.
CountEmissionsEU will ensure that the right data is provided, and a common calculation methodology is in place, paving the way for effective decarbonisation of the business travel sector currently hindered by the fragmented methodologies. A harmonised methodology will also provide benchmarks for measuring progress toward corporate sustainability goals.
As a truly global association, GBTA hopes that this regulation will become a global standard. GBTA has engaged with European officials to obtain more information on the direction of regulation and to raise awareness of the complexities of the sector.
