"There is no business to be done on a dead planet," said founder of the Sierra Club, David Brower. And thanks to Al Gore, Mr. Brower isn't the only one. An Inconvenient Truth brought the reality of climate change to light, and businesses around the world are starting to realize that green business practices are no longer optional, but essential for future operations. The bottom line is that without a healthy planet, there will be no customers; there will be no businesses. So, from small businesses to corporate giants like Wal-Mart and Google, going green has become the norm, the necessary. Recycling bins are springing up, alternative energy is powering buildings, water conservation programs are being put into place; and that's just the tip of the melting iceberg. Green Travel by RezHub.com, is helping businesses to green up their corporate travel as well.

With the launch of their Official Travel Provider program, businesses can easily find and book with green hotels, rent hybrid cars, and offset their carbon footprints. And since green travel options can be limited to certain cities, any travel booked (green labeled or not) doubles as a donation to an environmental non-profit so all bookings can make a positive impact on the planet. Corporate travel is a huge contributor to global warming that is often overlooked by businesses, but businesses that lack an environmental travel policy are starting to feel pressure both from their customers and their investors. Customers and clients expect businesses to act responsibly, and they want proof of that responsibility.

Greenwashing (claiming that a business is green without proven practice) has become a hot button issue for many companies and being labeled a Greenwasher can have a serious impact on business. Chatsworth Communications recently published a study finding that FTSE 100 companies are more concerned with creating an eco-friendly corporate image than actually helping the environment. RezHub.com is offering businesses the opportunity to make a positive change in their operations and also prove that change by providing "Official Green Travel Provider" logos that can be used on company websites and materials to show a corporate commitment to the environment.

RezHub.com has a goal to make green travel options available and accessible to everyone, including corporations. "If we can get even a fraction of the businesses in the US to make the switch to greener travel, the collective impact on the planet would be extraordinary," says spokesperson for the site, Melissa Evans. "Our current partners are thrilled with our program because we provide green options at no extra cost. We offer the guaranteed lowest rates for hotels worldwide, and our rates for flights and car rentals are extremely competitive." The Official Green Travel Provider program also provides an opportunity to earn extra revenue which companies can learn more by contacting greentravel@rezhub.com. 

As more and more companies begin to revise their business plans to support sustainability, their travel must be taken into account. RezHub.com is helping businesses build a green travel plan and their Official Green Travel Provider program offers another simple solution to a sustainable future.  Visit http://www.rezhub.com/GreenTravel/GreeningUpCorporateTravel/tabid/414/Default.aspx to learn more or to get started today.
