## Description
We are currently developing a new Sustainable Business Travel Policy for the University of Sussex, which will reflect our Sustainability Strategy commitments, particularly our commitment to achieve net zero carbon by 2035.
We have anecdotal evidence, that the easier we can make the approval/booking process and systems, the greater the chance of users engaging with and using them correctly. We believe offering a “One-Stop Shop” will do this, making things as simple as possible for users, and at the same time enabling us to use analytical data to provide oversight and maintain effective governance of the travel we undertake.
We are interested to discover if there are already products in existence that could help us achieve this.
As part of our research, we have spoken to several different Universities who, although they don’t operate something like this already, have a high level of interest in such a product, and we believe there is a wider need for this type of solution within the sector.
