Travel reduce by 30
As reported in The Beat a travel business
newsletter Environmental protection is squarely
on the list of critical issues for the business
travel industry as companies no less influential
than ABB, Cisco and EDS have begun taking action.
ABB favors rail over auto or air travel. Cisco is
trying to cut its travel budget by 100 million,
partly through investments in remote
conferencing. EDS plans to replace most
inter-office travel in Australia and New Zealand
with videoconferencing, cutting domestic flights
by up to 30 percent. republished with permission
