The Last Mile: Why Your Sustainability Reporting is Incomplete Without Ground Transport Data

A business trip doesn't end when the plane lands. Taxis, ride-shares, and transfers create a significant, often invisible, carbon footprint. It's time to start tracking the last mile.

A typical business trip generates a clear data trail: a flight is booked, a hotel is reserved, and expenses are filed. But what about the journey in between? The taxi from the airport to the hotel, the ride-share to a client meeting, the transfer back to the station — these small, individual trips collectively form the “last mile” of business travel. For most companies, they also represent a significant blind spot in their carbon footprint.

This fragmented data from various suppliers has historically made ground transport emissions one of the most challenging elements to include in Scope 3 emissions reporting. Without it, your understanding of a trip's total environmental impact is fundamentally incomplete.

PredictX and SQUAKE: The Solution for Auditable Compliance

PredictX is closing this critical data gap. Our enhanced Sustainability module now consolidates emissions data from ground transport, integrating it seamlessly alongside your air, rail, and hotel activity. Using SQUAKE’s advanced API for precise CO₂ calculations, we transform scattered data points into a clear, strategic overview. The result is a fully embedded solution designed to meet the demands of even the most complex multinational programs.

For a deeper look into our partnership, see our insights on audit-ready CO₂ reporting and a Deeper Look into the PredictX and SQUAKE Partnership.

"Today’s travel and sustainability managers need more than just numbers, they need insight they can trust. This partnership means our clients can rely on a native solution, purpose-built to meet sustainability reporting requirements, without compromising on accuracy or auditability." — Keesup Choe, CEO, PredictX

"Integrating with the technology and innovation leader in travel and expense data analytics is a natural step. Together, we’re raising the bar for what enterprise clients can expect from sustainability tools, transforming data into meaningful action." — Philipp von Lamezan, CEO & Co-founder, SQUAKE

The Core of Your Sustainability Program & ESG Strategy

Our platform's ability to consolidate all of your travel data into a single source of truth is the first step on your journey to decarbonizing business travel. We ensure your carbon reporting is comprehensive and auditor-ready, with market-leading calculations that comply with global climate regulations and support emissions reduction.

  • A True Door-to-Door View: Finally, you can analyze the full environmental cost of a business trip, from the moment an employee leaves home to the moment they return.
  • Uncover Hidden Carbon Hotspots: You can now identify if certain cities, departments, or trip types are generating disproportionately high ground transport emissions and inform policy changes.
  • Complete and Auditable Reports: By including this crucial data, your emissions reports become more accurate and defensible, strengthening both internal ESG initiatives and external compliance.

Don't let the last mile be your last priority. A truly effective sustainability strategy accounts for every part of the journey. With PredictX, you now have the complete picture.
