Winners Gallery
Each year the winners of these awards are announced and published. No public ceremony or awards dinner is held to ensure that the integrity of the awards is maintained and understood as a symbol of recognition of best in class performance. The awards are published via press releases and in established business travel publications in a specially commissioned ICARUS supplement, produced on recycled paper.
Each year the winners of these prestigious awards are asked to submit an individual to join the ICARUS Supplier Committee for a 2 year period. This gives them the opportunity to feed into the ICARUS Advisory Group's thinking and to influence the work of ICARUS.
Below are the new winners for 2011:
Transport 2011 Winner - British Airways
The judges were impressed with the continuing efforts of this airline to build sustainability into the ethos of the organisation. Whilst many companies cut back their investment in sustainability programmes during the financial crisis this carrier enhanced its commitment to the development of ‘alternative' fuels and fully supporting the ‘one destination' programme of targets to reduce CO2, lower noise levels and recycle waste. Its programme of supply chain procurement was particularly worthy of note.
Intermediary 2011 Winner - Carlson Wagonlit Travel
This travel management company has again shown its commitment to the development of sustainability as a core part of its business proposition by investing in both its own business and client products and services. Of particular note is the effort to develop a programme of ‘demand management' tools which provide a full range of solutions and informs travellers of the "door to door" options for multi-modal routes. In addition, journeys are benchmarked against the key aspects of a sustainable travel plan alongside the creation of a package which will address the need for transient and Meetings & Events reporting.
