Tourism and Transport: When ESG data takes flight

29

While travelers enjoy their summer, hotels, airlines, and sustainable tourism stakeholders are activating a crucial yet often invisible lever: ESG data.

Faced with regulatory pressure, traveler expectations, and B2B partner demands, mastering Environmental, Social, and Governance indicators is no longer a secondary project — it’s becoming a strategic necessity.

But in a sector as fragmented, seasonal, and complex as tourism and aviation, how can reliable ESG data be collected, consolidated, and used effectively? That’s where technology steps in — and where solutions like EnvoEdge prove their full value.

ESG: A Tangible Challenge for Hotels and Airlines

A responsible hotel can no longer rely on just turning off the lights or offering reusable towels. It must be able to measure precise indicators such as:

  • Energy consumption per room type,
  • Water usage per overnight stay,
  • Indirect emissions (Scope 3) from supply chains or guest transportation,
  • Infrastructure accessibility, workplace quality of life, inclusion…

Similarly, an airline committed to a low-carbon pathway can no longer communicate solely about biofuel purchases. It must continuously provide traceable data on:

  • Emissions per flight and per passenger,
  • Improvements linked to optimized flight paths,
  • Investments in a more fuel-efficient fleet,
  • Internal HR policies and employee engagement.

This data must be reliable, consolidated, and easy to understand — to fuel internal dashboards, meet regulatory requirements (CSRD, GRI, SFDR…), and build credibility with travelers, investors, and partners.

Ensuring Reliable ESG Data from the Ground to Reporting

That’s exactly what EnvoEdge, the ESG platform developed by Berexia, is designed to do.

EnvoEdge was built for multi-site, multi-system organizations like hotel groups and airlines. It integrates seamlessly with PMS (Property Management Systems), booking systems, ERPs, IoT sensors, business-specific files, and partner logistics APIs.

Its goals:

  • Automate ESG data collection with no extra burden on field teams,
  • Ensure data quality and consistency at the source,
  • Visualize key indicators through dynamic dashboards (by site, country, brand…),
  • And most importantly, prepare compliant and auditable reports aligned with industry ESG frameworks.

With its customizable rules engine, EnvoEdge adapts to each organization — whether you’re following a GRI framework, an internal decarbonization plan, or investor reporting, the tool supports you through the entire process.

 

More Than an Obligation: A Lever for Action and Differentiation

ESG data is not just a regulatory issue. It’s becoming a competitive advantage — especially in a sector where travelers are increasingly mindful of the impact of their choices.

A hotel that can demonstrate continuous improvement, or an airline that can justify emissions reductions, gains greater trust from customers, rating agencies, partner platforms, and regulators.

And when all this is built on a solid, automated platform designed to integrate seamlessly into existing systems, the approach becomes smooth, reliable… and sustainable.
