GBTA’s inclusion push

THE Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) has launched the Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Committee, a move designed to enhance the support for inclusion in the corporate travel sector.

Committee Chair J Grant Caplan, along with US Vice Chair Carol Fergus are the first to be named on the new body, with Vice Chairs representing the UK, Canada and Latin America to be named soon on what is being described as a “first-of-its-kind” initiative for the business travel space.

Upon its official launch, the new committee stated its goals will be to provide the resources, education and support to enable the travel industry to embrace and drive diversity, equality and inclusion within organisations.

“Our goal is to be the industry voice advocating for diversity, equality and inclusion, and to raise the profile for all individuals from all walks of life, religion, race, age, gender, sexual orientation and disabilities, mental health and invisible illnesses,” said interim Executive Director GBTA Dave Hilfman.

“By tackling the uncomfortable, we want to foster an open, transparent, and welcoming arm, where trust and integrity will be at the forefront of our agenda,” he added.
