Internova Travel Group, one of the largest travel services companies in the world, today announced it is offering more sustainable solutions for employees, advisors and clients who are concerned about reducing and tracking their carbon footprint.

During the pandemic, Internova recognized the exponential growth in demand for practical resources to support carbon offsetting goals. Sustainable Travel International, a global organization with over 15 years of experience developing successful carbon offset programs for the travel industry, will therefore work with Internova to share expertise in sustainability education, carbon calculation and reporting. Clients will have access to target-setting consultation, tools and certified carbon offset options for highly vetted climate-protection projects.

Gabe Rizzi, President of Internova Travel Group, said:

"A more sustainable future will only become a reality if we all do our part. That's why we're taking this collaborative approach with Sustainable Travel International. Together, we will take the necessary steps to reduce our travel emissions while helping advisors, as well as corporate and leisure clients, do the same.

"Equally, our clients need accountability for their own travel plans. Partnering with Sustainable Travel International will allow us to equip our clients with information to make responsible travel choices."

Internova offers ethical, eco-conscious options to clients and works to promote travel to destinations that focus on visitor growth and sustainable economic expansion. The company also partners with suppliers with strong sustainability associations and certifications. The relationship with Sustainable Travel International represents the next phase of Internova's corporate social responsibility strategy "to connect the world through travel – sustainably, inclusively, and responsibly – to grow our business, protect our planet and enrich people's lives everywhere, one experience at a time."
