International corporate travel services company Hogg Robinson (HRG) has won the coveted Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award at the Business Travel and Meetings Show 2010 Innovation Awards, which took place today.

The HRG CSR portfolio includes a number of solutions that assess the impact of travel plans, reduce carbon emissions and help organisations meet environmental targets. HRG’s Reporting tool, for example, provides reports on mileage and carbon emissions on air, rail and car travel offering ‘off-setting’ options based on a client’s carbon footprint. These help carbon conscious clients track their activity and monitor progress against targets.

Ian Windsor, Managing Director of HRG UK says: “It is an honour to win this Innovation Award especially as it is voted for by the visitors to the Show. At HRG we have proven that we are able to meet client requirements and exceed their expectations in the evolving CSR arena. Our expertise in data management enables us to consolidate information across the entire travel process and so provide clients with customised environmental impact reports, policy management guidance and traveller tracking services.”

The annual Innovation Awards recognise corporate travel companies who create highly innovative products, services and processes.
