Moving People & the Planet Forward Through Business Travel
What if the forces reshaping business travel – from workforce transformation to the energy transition – aren’t just risks to manage, but opportunities to lead?
We’ve built the GBTA Foundation on the core belief that travel is a force for good and an opportunity to learn, share, and innovate. Our 2025 Impact Report captures how the Foundation is helping the global business travel industry lead through a time of transformation. Grounded in our 2030 Impact Vision, the report highlights the progress we are making to build the workforce of the future, advance measurable sustainability action, and equip the industry with the tools, standards, and shared frameworks needed to create lasting impact for People and the Planet.
Inside, you’ll find a message from our Managing Director, key milestones from the past year, and examples of how our programs are turning industry intent into industry impact. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping shape a future where business travel truly moves People and the Planet forward.
The Momentum We're Building Together
This year’s report reflects the momentum we’re building together. GBTA Foundation has helped mentor more than 1,000 professionals, with 70% already advancing in their careers, while enabling hundreds of organizations representing $35 billion in annual travel spend to benchmark and advance their sustainability progress. These outcomes show what’s possible when our industry aligns around common goals and shared action.
Your corporate funds and personal support can help us continue this vital work. Every donation, big or small, contributes to our collective progress.
