Inside track

It’s not just a corporate report – delivering some “real people’s voices” to demonstrate the company wide commitment to success.

REAL PEOPLE'S VOICES

“I believe that private sector engagement is essential for pushing the global sustainability agenda forwards, and I am optimistic that we can rise to the challenge if we all work together. The choices companies make now could be transformational and as a TMC we have the opportunity to influence many of our clients’ biggest source of carbon emissions – their business travel. I am dedicated to working in partnership with them, our employees, suppliers and other stakeholders on continually improving our environmental and social footprints.”

- Myla McPhail – Sustainability Manager

“Living in Australia surrounded by such natural beauty, it has been disheartening to see repeated Government denial on climate change and inaction on sustainability. It’s why I’m so pleased Reed & Mackay are joining other businesses in showing what is possible if you have real commitment”

- David Greenland, MD Australia

“I believe that not only do we need to be passionate about Reed & Mackay and our environmental impact, but we also need to be passionate about our responsibilities to our clients and suppliers in helping them make the right choices.

It’s our job to ensure we deliver the right information throughout the Reed & Mackay experience, working together in partnership to help clients achieve their sustainability goals.”

- Julie Oliver, COO

“Understanding the supplier landscape when it comes to environmental and sustainability priorities is complex. Every trade supplier has a different approach, different focuses and often multiple mechanisms for measuring success, etc.

Engaging closely with our supplier partners and their relevant CSR stakeholders, ensures we are up to date on the latest environmental policies, initiatives, goals and strategies (or at least that we can get to this information quickly when required)."

- Angelina Bunting, Commercial Director

“There aren’t many topics that unite the world, but climate change and sustainability is one such critical topic we all have to play our part in.”

- Alex Cousins, Chief Project Officer

“Having joined Reed & Mackay just a few months ago, I am thrilled to be working with a TMC whose commitment to sustainability goes beyond reporting. Our strategy is really one of looking carefully at our clients and listening to their needs, to understand how we can support them with their sustainability goals.”

- Dominique Ross, Client Success Manager

“I love R&M and the fact that they are constantly striving to go green, it speaks volumes for what a great company they are, to trying to help our planet. It stems right through the core of the business from the top to the bottom.”

- Ellie Scaiola, Business Travel Consultant

“I have had the pleasure of overseeing Reed & Mackay’s Environmental Management System for a number of years, and I can truly say that the company has always strived to better its environmental impact and community engagement. Over the years, there have been many forums, collaborations with suppliers, volunteering events, awareness campaigns and changes to our processes and working environment to reduce our CO2 emissions. It is thanks to the commitment from our Leadership Team, who actively engage with all these activities, and the ongoing support from our employees with their eagerness to make a difference”.

- Marisa Churcher, GRC Officer

"It feels great to be part of something where we are driving change and to attract a diverse talent from around the globe. Our workplace practices and goals will help keep us on the right track and we look forward to expanding on these in the coming years.”

– Emily Webster, HR Advisor

"The importance of sustainability goes far beyond offering initiatives to our clients as part of servicing their needs. As a business and as humans, it is vital we play our part too. Whilst I believe we have so much more to do, Reed & Mackay has already made fundamental steps of bringing how we act sustainably in to our consciousness, our strategy and our culture. I am particularly proud of us paving the way with our game changing initiative through Neste, but equally as being part of an organisation who started taking action over a decade ago by achieving the ISO 14001 certification – which created a paperless environment almost overnight!”

– Max Hensser, Director of Global Client Experience

“Reed & Mackay’s commitment to sustainability, in particular our partnership with Neste has made our airline partners sit up and take notice. Of course, airlines are eager to progress their own sustainability programmes, and their key TMC partners (such as R&M) are key to making this possible. Airlines see R&M as industry leaders in this field and will continue to work closely with us to deliver tangible results to our customers, and I’m very much looking forward to helping to facilitate further initiatives in 2022 and beyond.”

– Richard Lindsay, Director Air Partnerships EMEA, TripActions Group

“Reed & Mackay have a history of innovative sustainability partnerships. In 2017, R&M partnered with Air France - KLM to provide carbon offsetting for our clients on selected routes to coincide with our ‘Green Month’ that year. As part of the initiative we also wanted to engage our staff and held a showcase at our head office so AFKL could highlight the various green initiatives they were working on. Everyone got involved and subsequently Air France KLM held a CSR Workshop at their Heathrow offices, to which they invited R&M to come and do a presentation to our industry peers about the joint initiatives we had carried out together. The afternoon also had several external speakers including experts on sustainable aviation fuel.”
