PACE, the sustainability data and analytics platform owned by Kerry-founded payments giant Fexco, has launched its innovative PACE BlueSkies solution to enhance carbon emissions tracking and reporting for corporate travellers.
It is also announcing a strategic partnership with Hannon Travel, which will adopt PACE BlueSkies for its corporate clients, setting a new benchmark for sustainability in the travel industry.
PACE BlueSkies provides unmatched accuracy in emissions data by utilising aviation-specific methodologies blended with flight-specific data. It will empower corporate travellers and travel managers to make informed decisions, reduce costs, and avoid greenwashing risks while ensuring compliance with environmental frameworks like CSRD.
Unlike traditional calculators reliant on generic assumptions, PACE BlueSkies considers critical factors such as aircraft type, passenger load factors, and cabin configurations.
PACE BlueSkies provides detailed analytics for corporate travel managers, airlines, and travel aggregators to accurately measure and report flight carbon emissions. The platform provides customer-specific analysis, identifying efficiency opportunities and enabling greener flight choices for business travel.
Through this partnership with PACE, Hannon Travel’s clients will gain access to:
- Accurate carbon emissions data to support ESG strategies and corporate carbon budgets.
- Actionable insights for making informed travel choices.
- Enhanced Scope 3 emissions reporting for CSRD compliance and sustainability goals.
- Facilitating detailed Scope 3 emissions reporting for CSRD compliance and sustainability goals.
By adopting PACE BlueSkies, Hannon Travel reinforces its commitment to innovation and sustainability, setting a new standard for corporate travel emissions management.
Eimer Hannon, Managing Director of Hannon Travel, said:“Delivering the most accurate carbon insights in the corporate travel industry is an exciting advancement for Hannon Travel. PACE BlueSkies enables us to support our clients in accelerating their sustainability efforts and achieving CSRD compliance with confidence.”
PACE CEO Cathal Foley added: “At PACE, we are committed to empowering organisations with the data they need to drive meaningful change. Our partnership with Hannon Travel represents a significant step forward in enabling corporate travellers to make sustainable decisions without compromising compliance or accuracy. We are setting a new standard for accountability and innovation in carbon emissions reporting.”
Research from PACE in late 2023 revealed that traditional methodologies can overestimate emissions, leading to unnecessary costs for carbon offsets. With PACE BlueSkies, our commitment to precise data helps partners like Hannon Travel deliver exceptional value and transparency to their clients.
