ATPI’s 2025 Sustainability Report reveals strong progress in reducing carbon offsets

Internal carbon price accelerates its decarbonisation strategy

Travel and events management company ATPI Group, has released its second annual review of its global activities, performance, and outcomes against key Environmental, Social and Governance reporting metrics.

The 2025 Sustainability Report covers off key reportable metrics from the 2024 calendar year, highlights strong progress in ATPI’s carbon reduction efforts.

The company achieved a 25% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, alongside an 11% reduction in total emissions per full-time employee (FTE), from 1.86 tonnes of Co2e in 2023 to 1.65 tonnes in 2024.

During this period, ATPI also introduced an internal carbon price to accelerate its decarbonisation strategy.

This initiative not only helps to drive carbon reduction but also allows ATPI to continually reinvest in decarbonisation and compensation activities. Additionally, the Group compensated 100% of its residual emissions through a diverse portfolio of internationally recognised, high-integrity carbon offset projects.

In 2024, this included investments in new initiatives such as the Biomass Everest Starch Facility in India and the Envira Amazonia REDD+ project in Brazil, alongside a wider range of projects supporting global climate action.

Corporate travel remains essential for global business and connectivity, however aviation accounts for an estimated 2-3% of global CO2 emissions.

Recognising this as a priority sector for decarbonisation, ATPI has invested in 75 tonnes of SAF since the start of this reporting period, representing 5% of ATPI’s business travel emissions from the previous year.

This has been achieved through the company’s partnership with NESTE, the world’s leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel. For the first time, the 2025 report also incorporates emissions from ATPI’s data centres, reflecting the company’s progress in expanding the scope of its reportable footprint.

To further prioritise internal sustainable initiatives, 48% of the electricity consumed in ATPI’s offices now comes from renewable sources - a 5% increase since the last report.

ATPI has also accelerated the transition of its company car fleet to electric and hybrid models, with 38% of its vehicles updated, up from 29% in the previous year.

Louisa Toure, ATPI Group’s Sustainability Officer, said: “This year’s report demonstrates how we continue to evolve, empower and inspire through action.

“We’ve reduced our impact, strengthened our culture, and empowered clients to travel more responsibly.

“I’m proud of how our people are driving this momentum, but our ambition doesn’t stop here, we are determined to evolve further and lead the way in shaping the future of sustainable travel.”

ATPI’s social sustainability supports its employees while aligning with the company’s wider goals. To strengthen transparency and accountability, ATPI introduced a new global staff database to enhance reporting, provide greater insights into its workforce, and enable meaningful action.

The report highlights that staff numbers grew by 8%, with women representing 60% and men 40% across the Group’s workforce globally. While the travel industry has been traditionally female-dominated, ATPI is committed to embedding equality of opportunity throughout its culture and organisational structure.

The company also continues to outperform global benchmarks on pay equality. Against an estimated global gender pay gap of 20%, ATPI reports a gap of just 9.9% in favour of males.

Social sustainability also took centre stage in 2024 with the launch of ATPI Inspires, a business-wide initiative focused on volunteering, wellbeing and community engagement. Employees dedicated 1,276 hours to volunteering through the programme, bringing ATPI’s value of “Show your kindness” to life across its global network.

This people-first approach is also reflected in the Group’s Global People Survey, which found that 81% of employees feel they have access to the learning and development needed to do their jobs effectively, 89% believe they clearly understand how their work contributes to ATPI’s broader goals, and 77% have a good understanding of what ATPI’s sustainability programme is trying to achieve.

Ian Sinderson, ATPI Group’s Chief Executive Officer added: “2024 was a dynamic year for ATPI. We continued to grow across the regions, embracing both the challenges and opportunities that come with a rapidly evolving travel landscape.

“As climate-related events such as extreme weather and shifting environmental conditions increasingly impacting travel, ATPI is committed to leading by example and guiding our clients toward smarter, more sustainable choices.”

 “Our values shape our behaviour and decision-making, and by staying true to them, we strengthen ATPI’s identity, foster a positive culture, and lay the groundwork for long-term success.”
