Does a travel agency count its clients' flights in its emissions?
Not in its core inventory. The airline burns the fuel, and the trip is the client's business travel. The agency counts its offices, staff travel and commuting. It can report the emissions of trips it sold as a separate, optional figure and explain the method, which corporate clients often ask for.
Your inventory
- Office electricity: Scope 2.
- Staff travel and commuting: Categories 6 and 7.
- IT and booking systems: purchased services.
Client reports
Give clients per-trip figures using a named factor set, so they can add them to their own Category 6.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.
