I would like to compliment WWFs campaign for
reducing by 20 percent flights that companies
take in the course of their work over a set
period. The problem of climate change is so
serious that every little step can make a
difference in reducing the emissions of
greenhouse gases, and the One in Five Challenge
is an extremely effective and practical way for
organisations round the world to be part of the
solution. Nobel Laureate Rajendra
Pachauri Chair, Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change

Theres no doubt that the latest
videoconferencing technology can play a
significant role in controlling and reducing the
carbon footprint of business travel. Changing
behaviour is vital cutting 1 in 5 flights, the
central theme of the WWF-UK campaign, is an
entirely realistic way forward, environmentally
and economically. So too is taking the train
whenever possible. Lord Faulkner of Worcester,
All-party Parliamentary Sustainable Aviation
Group Chair

"I warmly welcome the One in Five Challenge from
WWF as a robust prompt to reduce emissions from
business travel and help move towards lower
carbon ways of working. The initiative will
encourage businesses to continue on the journey
of addressing their full carbon impact
including Scope 3 emissions. Organisations which
meet the challenge will be well placed to achieve
the Carbon Trust Standard for measuring, managing
and reducing their corporate carbon
footprint. Harry Morrison General Manager,
Carbon Trust Standard Company

"The Carbon Disclosure Project strongly supports
WWF's One in Five Challenge. Videoconferencing is
improving every year, but the problem now is with
the software. Not the computer software but
rather business people themselves. We have to get
people to change the way they work. WWF can do
that, if we listen to reason. Can we behave
logically and change our behaviour to reduce
emissions? Yes, we can. Paul
Dickinson Chief Executive, Carbon Disclosure
Project

"Traditional transport debate is about concrete
and steel, moving more metal boxes further and
faster. The One in Five Challenge is an
opportunity to think about business travel
differently, using communication technologies
properly. This is not just an environmental or
business imperative, it is about liberating
people from the tyranny of long distance business
travel." Stephen Joseph Executive Director,
Campaign for Better Transport

"The One in Five Challenge is perfectly aligned
with the broader business travel emission
reduction goals of ITM's Project ICARUS. The
association welcomes the focus WWF-UK is taking
on our sector and is proud to be working in
tandem to create more sustainable corporate
travel programmes." Paul Tilstone Chief
Executive Institute of Travel Meetings (ITM)
Creators of Project ICARUS

The National Business Travel Network fully
supports WWFs One in Five Challenge as a way for
businesses to reduce the environmental, economic
and social impacts of their employees business
travel.   The business benefits of reducing
non-essential air miles have been proven and NBTN
urges organisations, particularly in these
economically challenging times, to join the One
in Five Challenge and see for themselves.
