As part of its commitment to making more sustainable travel accessible, Trip.com Group has launched a new feature that offers quantified carbon emissions data across major transportation services – including flights, car rentals, airport transfers, and trains (European trains).
The rollout of the new feature comes off the back of the release of the company’s latest Sustainability Report, which highlights its progress in sustainability, centred around its ‘Friendly Four’ framework – Stakeholder-Friendly, Community-Friendly, Family-Friendly, and Environmentally Friendly.
It captures key highlights of Trip.com’s efforts to advance a more sustainable and inclusive future through innovation, collaboration, and responsible growth.
With the support of the Association of Car Rental Industry System Standards (ACRISS), users can now view tailpipe CO₂ emission data for Trip.com car rental listings and compare the emissions of electric, hybrid, and traditional vehicles.
A similar informative function for airport transfers further empowers travellers to be informed with greener mobility choices across every leg of their journey.
The Group’s wider environmental efforts continue to scale. In 2024 alone, it encouraged travellers to place over 100 million orders for more sustainable travel products.
Solar panel installations at the Group’s headquarters and rural retreats generated 457 MWh of clean electricity.
Additionally, for the first time, the Group’s report includes all categories from Scope 3 carbon emissions – covering sources such as leased data centres and business travel, to support more comprehensive tracking and target-setting in line with group’s carbon neutrality target by 2050.
Trip.com Group continued to make meaningful contributions to rural development and public safety through tourism. Its flagship Country Retreat Programme expanded to 34 sites, generating more than 40,000 indirect job opportunities.
More than 80% of employees at these retreats are residents, and participating villages reported an average rise in per capita income of USD 5,500. This year, the programme will expand to more global destinations.
Additional childcare leave days, subsidies, and gender equity anchor Trip.com Group’s family-first culture.
Trip.com Group has also strengthened its position as a leading family-friendly workplace.
Women now account for 57.1% of its global workforce, with representation at senior and middle management levels reaching 32.7% and 43% respectively, and over 61.2% at entry-levels.
Jane Sun, CEO of Trip.com Group, said: “The ability to operate and grow more sustainably will be among the most critical factors for future competitiveness.
“We believe that sustainable development is a long-term journey requiring deep and enduring commitment.”
