3 Ways T&E Can Contribute to Utility and Energy Company Sustainability
An SAP Concur blog post says utilities and energy companies can embed greener practices in financial and administrative processes beyond grid investment and clean energy, with travel and expense management as one opportunity. It offers three paths: reduce paper waste through digital expense reports and automated data ingestion; provide sustainable guidelines and guardrails, citing an SAP Concur survey of 1,000 business travelers finding 88% are willing to take actions to reduce their environmental impact when traveling for business; and measure success, with travel carbon emissions reporting by employee, department or route.
