EmpireCLS, a global affiliate network based in Secaucus, N.J., recently started to enroll its top 40 affiliate network partners into the Green Ride Global (GRG) program (www.greenrideglobal.com). More markets will be added in the future. The move is to ensure that audited data flows into the sustainability reporting for their top clients.

“Being accountable for your environmental footprint is a fundamental component of our business operations,” says David Seelinger, chairman and CEO of EmpireCLS. “A company can only truly understand how to manage its footprint if [it has] measurements in place.”

“The Green Ride Global program captures the accurate carbon footprint of every vehicle in the program,” says Justin Raymond, president and CEO of GRG. “The data is stored inside each respective company’s carbon inventory, where it can be pulled from to complete any large, global corporate reporting requirement. The thirst for sustainability data from business travel and event-related programs is growing. For many corporations, it is a key element of their RFP process as well.”
