The 2025 Playbook for Net-Zero Business Travel by PredictX & SQUAKE: Your 4-Step Guide to Actionable Sustainability

Ready to move from setting net-zero targets to achieving them? Here's how PredictX provides the data and strategy you need to transform your travel program into a cornerstone of your ESG strategy and Corporate Sustainability Goals.

Setting a net-zero target is a bold and necessary commitment. But the path from ambition to achievement is paved with data—accurate, comprehensive, and actionable data. After a month of exploring the groundbreaking updates to the PredictX Sustainability module, we're bringing it all together in a simple, four-step playbook to power your journey.

This is how leading organizations are transforming their corporate travel programs from a source of emissions into a pillar of their ESG strategy.

Step 1: Measure Everything with Precision (The Foundation for compliance with Standard Frameworks & Scope 3 Reporting)

You cannot manage what you don’t measure accurately. With our SQUAKE integration, you get audit-ready data across air, rail, hotel, car rental and ground transport. This creates a reliable, single source of truth for your entire travel carbon footprint and T&E Reporting. It's the essential foundation for any ESG strategy and compliance with frameworks like the GHG Protocol. For more on our groundbreaking partnership, see the PredictX and SQUAKE partnership announcement.

Step 2: Visualize Your Impact to Find Hotspots (The Analysis for Smarter Travel Data & Analytics)

Use our interactive sustainability dashboard to see where your emissions are coming from. Our platform provides rich Travel Data & Analytics, allowing you to analyze trends by department, region, and travel type to identify carbon hotspots. Is first-class travel driving up emissions disproportionately? Our dashboards make these insights impossible to ignore, empowering you to make data-driven decisions.

Step 3: Connect Emissions to Business Purpose (The Strategy for Compliance with Corporate Travel Policy)

Our reporting tool offers a variety of widgets such as "Impact by Trip Purpose", "Impact by Trip Reason", "Impact by Department", and "Impact by Travel Type", providing valuable insights into your ESG performance. This allows you to develop intelligent corporate travel policies that eliminate low-value, high-carbon journeys and promote sustainable alternatives without hindering growth. The power of this feature is connecting your consolidated travel & expense data to your core business outcomes. For a deep dive, check out our insights on audit-ready CO₂ reporting.

Step 4: Model Scenarios and Drive Change (The Action for Net-Zero Targets)

Use PredictX’s advanced Travel Reporting & Predictive Analytics to simulate how policy shifts will affect your carbon outcomes and risk exposure. Implement an internal carbon cost to financially incentivize lower-emission choices and drive behavioral change across the organization. This is where Agentic AI takes your ESG strategy from ambition to reality.

Achieving your Corporate Sustainability Goals doesn't have to be complex or inaccurate. With PredictX, you already have the data; we give you the tools to turn it into your most powerful asset for change.
