Sustainability specialists Clarasight and Thrust Carbon have announced a new partnership, which is designed to ¡°align the strengths¡± of both companies¡¯ platforms.

US-based Clarasight is known for its carbon planning and forecasting capabilities, while the UK¡¯s Thrust Carbon offers a carbon emissions methodology and compliance suite, which has received official ISO 14083 accreditation for reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Both feature as part of BTN Europe¡¯s Green List of corporate travel sustainability platforms.

As part of the new deal, Clarasight¡¯s platform will integrate Thrust Carbon¡¯s emissions calculation process, alongside its Thrust Engage employee engagement system, which has been created to drive changes in behaviour among an organisation¡¯s staff.

Meanwhile, Thrust Carbon customers will gain access to Clarasight¡¯s advanced planning capabilities to ¡°build business-driven forecasts and model detailed policies, initiatives and targets¡±. These insights can then be used to influence employee behaviour through Thrust Engage.

The companies stressed that they would both ¡°continue to deliver their own suite enabling emissions reporting, analytics and carbon budget management¡±.

¡°By providing integrations between each of their most advanced capabilities though, Clarasight and Thrust Carbon are now enabling a customised set of solutions to resolve the strategic and operational goals of every modern enterprise,¡± they added in a statement.

Kit Aspen, co-founder and CEO of Thrust Carbon, explained: "This partnership is an ideal collaboration that provides travel and sustainability leaders with best-in-class technology to future-proof their business travel programmes.

¡°We are excited to align the strengths of both platforms to create a unified experience that benefits customers most.¡±

Adam Braun, co-founder and CEO of Clarasight, added: "By combining our powerful scenario modelling and planning capabilities with Thrust Carbon's ISO-assured emissions methodology and Thrust Engage, companies can now meet every one of their sustainability, compliance and business priorities with speed and automation.¡±
