Business First Partnership Awarded Ecosmart Certification

London based travel management company Business First Partnership has been awarded EcoSmart certification in recognition of its sustainability policies and practices.

ECOsmart is a leading certification, awarded by environmental services and consultancy company Greengage, used by organisations around the globe to demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability.

With a strong sustainability mission statement, BFP is committed to a diverse eco approach within the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The business is passionate about minimising the impact of travel on the planet and believes all travel management companies have a responsibility to actively drive eco-friendly practices.

Nigel Taylor, CEO of Business First Partnership explained: “We embrace cutting-edge technology and practices to make ourselves greener wherever possible and are committed to helping our clients do the same.

“We empower every traveller we partner with to minimise their environmental footprint through a range of carbon tracking and offsetting initiatives.

“To help us meet our own sustainability goals, we have a range of measures in place that ensure we are making environmentally friendly business a priority including our remote working model to minimise energy consumption as well as launching our own set of BeeFP beehives to promote biodiversity.

“We undertook the EcoSmart certification process to highlight our longstanding dedication to protecting the planet and demonstrate that our practices align with our core values.

“We are so pleased all of our initiatives have been recognised and hope our colleagues in the travel industry will follow suit in our drive towards a greener, more sustainable future.”
