Leading online corporate travel group GetThere Green has won Executive Magazine’s Green Supply Chain Awards

GetThere Green began in late 2007, providing online travel booking solutions, while giving detailed carbon emission data and the green status of suppliers. The process allows travellers to accurately assess the carbon footprint of their journey and make choices based on this throughout the booking process.

The Green Supply Chain awards are aimed at organizations of all sizes that take steps towards increasing their ecological efficiency.

GetThere Green is also used by 3,000 companies worldwide including over half of the Fortune 200 companies. GetThere is estimated to have helped book over US$9.4 billion of travel in 2007 alone.

“We are honored to be recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive for GetThere Green, and we’re pleased to play a role in helping corporations define and reach environmental sustainability objectives with their travel programs,” said GetThere’s Vice President of Product Marketing and User Experience, Suzanne Neufang. “We look forward to the program continuing to grow with new enhancements and more companies signing on.”
