The Project ICARUS Global Advisory Board and Sustainability Committee looks to recognise travel buyers, suppliers and intermediaries who can demonstrate outstanding leadership, innovation and commitment to delivering best in class sustainability programmes, product and services across Europe.
“Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of companies building sustainability into their business travel and meetings programmes and we are thrilled to recognise those companies and individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to this drive to greater sustainability in our industry”, said Bernard Harrop, Head of Sustainability, Project ICARUS.
Awards will be made at the GBTA Europe Conference in Prague, 23rd – 25th September 2013.

Bernard Harrop, Head of Sustainability, Project ICARUS commented, “The standard of submission was very high and reflects the growing commitment to sustainability within our industry. This is proof indeed, that Sustainability is fast becoming a ‘business as usual subject’ in board rooms of leading organisations in North America”.
