This means that theproportion of purchases from certified suppliers is measured and tracked inrelation to total purchases. In <strong>2012</strong>, 67% of purchase contracts were signedwith certified suppliers, guaranteeing the origin, quality and compliance ofproducts.Preserving natural resourcesThe company progressively encourages employees to limit the use of paperand use electronic documents as much as possible. For example, <strong>CWT</strong>Germany uses only environmentally friendly paper (supplied by DeutschePapier VertriebsGmbH) and participates in the “Carbon Neutral Paper”project organized by Climate PartnerGmbH. As a further step to support thebattle against climate change, the company also supports the VER (verifiedemission reduction units) hydro-electric power project in Pueblo Nuevo Viñas,Guatemala.Reducing and recycling waste<strong>Carlson</strong> <strong>Wagonlit</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> sorts and recycles its waste in a number of countries.In 2010/2011, <strong>CWT</strong> Netherlands rolled out a new method to collect spentprinter cartridges, combined with a reduction in the number of multifunctionalprinters in use. With new software to monitor cartridge usage, <strong>CWT</strong> Netherlandsbegan tracking printer cartridge recycling in 2011.

The successof <strong>CWT</strong>’s response depends upon the capacity to act quicklyand decisively with limited information and unknown variablesas well as the ability to articulate the way forward for all staff.A crisis is a major disruption (such as fire, pandemic, natural disaster, poweroutage, workplace violence to an employee, IT and telecom failure, etc.)directly affecting the <strong>CWT</strong> organization and not solved only by activation ofthe <strong>Business</strong> Continuity Plan.A crisis can also be a situation of major disruption/incident potentially affectingthe safety and security of travelers.A situation is also considered a crisis when the reputation and/or the brandof the company are exposed and/or when a <strong>CWT</strong> employee is physicallyinjured during the course of his/her work.All disruptions/incidents shall be reported to regional and/or headquartersmanagement in order to ensure the timely activation of the relevant crisisorganization.The relevant crisis team (regional or corporate) will coordinate managementof the situation with all locations involved.In the event of a crisis, <strong>CWT</strong>’s Corporate Crisis Team aims to:Secure the immediate safetyand well being of <strong>CWT</strong>employees and customersInform all stakeholdersManage financial and legalconsequencesEnsure appropriate action toavoid re-occurrenceProtect our assets and maintainnormal operations or, if normaloperations cannot bemaintained, resume the highestpossible level of operationswithin the shortest possible time<strong>Business</strong> Continuity Management KPIsBy the end of 20131.

As part of <strong>CWT</strong>’scontinued focus on business travelers,<strong>CWT</strong> Solutions Group, togetherwith the Global Product Innovationteam, launched the <strong>CWT</strong> <strong>Travel</strong>Stress Index in Q2 2013. The <strong>CWT</strong><strong>Travel</strong> Stress Index seeks to quantifythe cost to the organization of thestress that employees can incur fromtraveling, and use that informationto help buyers make better travelpolicy decisions. Without thisinformation, many organizationsfocus on small savings gained ona short-term basis when they canactually achieve significant ones througha longer-term approach.As of the publication of this report,<strong>CWT</strong> Solutions Group has releasedtwo whitepapers: Stress Triggers for<strong>Business</strong> <strong>Travel</strong>ers (October <strong>2012</strong>) andThe Hidden Costs of <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Travel</strong>(April 2013). In the first study, basedon the responses of 6,000 businesstravelers, <strong>CWT</strong> found three maincategories of stress: lost time, surprisesand routine-breakers.In the second study, leveragingnine data sources (including 15.3 millionair transactions), <strong>CWT</strong> developed analgorithm to quantifiably measure travelstress and its corresponding impact onan organization. The results show thatthe actual lost time (caused by travelrelatedstress) is on average 6.9 hoursper trip. The largest contributions to thislost time arise from flying economyclass on medium and long-haul flights(2.1 hours) and getting to the airport/train station (1.1 hours). The financialequivalent of this 6.9 hours is US$ 662.This type of examination enablesorganizations to understand that beyondthe purely transactional aspect of thetrip, they should recognize businesstravel as a strategic means to grow andcompete effectively in the marketplace.More importantly, business travel has animpact on a company’s most importantasset: its employees. For these reasons,other areas of the organization, such asHuman Resources and <strong>Responsible</strong><strong>Business</strong>, may be involved in makingtravel policy decisions. The <strong>CWT</strong> <strong>Travel</strong>Stress Index, as a decision-making tool,will help our clients assess and adjusttheir travel policies, and move from“travel policy” to “traveler policy.”To learn more,visit the <strong>CWT</strong> SolutionsGroup website atwww.cwt-solutionsgroup.comWith the <strong>Travel</strong> Stress Index, <strong>CWT</strong> offersa different way to look at duty of care,introducing the dimension of people todecisions on travel programs and policywhich today are organized accordingto spend, safety and security and CO 2emissions.Vincent Lebunetel, Senior Director,<strong>CWT</strong> Solutions Group, Europe, Middle East & AfricaCopyright © 2013 <strong>CWT</strong>77

By compensating100 percent of their emissions,they can claim to be “carbon neutral”.By offsetting not only CO 2emissionsbut also the climate impactof other greenhouse gases, an organizationcan make itself “climate neutral.”Carbon OffsettingA carbon offset is a reduction inor sequestration of emissions ofcarbon dioxide or other greenhousegases, made in order to compensatefor or to offset an emission madeelsewhere. Carbon offsets are usuallymeasured in tonnes of carbon dioxideequivalent (tCO 2e), a measure usedto compare the impact of greenhousegases based on their global warmingpotential (GWP).
