The environment and our society should be a priority for any company that wants to succeed in today’s marketplace. In addition, sustainability efforts provide financial benefits and improve reputation and public image, among other things – all of which can help set your business apart from competitors who may not share these values with you! 

We welcome professionals interested in making a more significant impact on the “triple bottom line” of sustainability in the travel, tourism, & Transportation sectors. Our membership is open to virtually anyone with an eye on making the world and society safer for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.

Few jobs require or even provide the chance to step back and think about the big picture and the impact that “Travel” has on our everyday existence. So, irrespective of your job function or the sector of the industry you work in, you will find that STTN has much of the information, guidance, and tools that will be directly relevant and worth exploring on your journey.

Membership is open to:

• Operational executives and managers in travel-related service companies want to understand more about sustainability’s role in their business but are unsure how to start. Lacking the time or resources needed to research the many sources and types of information (much of which doesn’t apply to “Travel” services), we provide easy-to-digest information, toolkits, third-party certifications, and expertise. Our goal is to help our members start including sustainability as a part of their company’s core values.
• Entrepreneurs and small business owners interested in expanding a sustainable services division or even a start-up company that needs the human and technical expertise to start the process. Whether you are interested in incorporating proven sustainability elements as part of your core offering or as part of your business operations, STTN and our partners help members understand and explore the many new opportunities that a commitment to sustainability presents. 
• Company owners and CEOs understand that sustainability has become the new business reality, and business success and sustainability are inextricably intertwined. As a result, innovative leadership is required more than ever. Therefore, STTN optimizes “professional connections,” helping to deliver expertise through our network of travel, transportation, tourism, and sustainability professionals.
• Corporate Travel Managers, Travel Agencies, and TMC Staff are often overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information on programs and policies. While these buyers/facilitators still want to incorporate sustainability into their programs, they may have little idea of what to do and where to start. STTN’s partners and members help each other tap into effective policies and practices even when working with limited budgets and time.
• Chief Sustainability Officers, staff members, analysts, and consultants often spend much of their time as “generalists.” However, “Travel, transportation, and Tourism” represent many different types of companies and services, which presents many challenges to buyers. STTN will provide the focus and intimate industry knowledge to help ensure accuracy and transparency in ESG reporting and facilitate the establishment of sustainable “Travel” value chains.
• Individuals and employees who are without the opportunity to contribute to the “triple bottom line” in their current positions know that the possibilities offered by greater efficiencies and smaller budgets often result from innovation. STTN provides the tools, training, and guidance to identify policies and procedures that can be integrated into existing positions or provide for new career paths.
• Whether or not you have the word “sustainability” in your job description, it is increasingly important that everyone from the C-Suite to the maintenance staff understand what sustainability means, both as a concept and as a set of decisions and actions impacting your organization.
