At Selective Travel Management, we believe business travel should be about more than simply getting people from A to B.

For over 50 years, we’ve helped organisations travel smarter, safer and more efficiently. Today, we recognise that travel programmes can also be a powerful way to deliver positive social value. Whether supporting employee wellbeing, improving accessibility, working with responsible suppliers, or helping clients align their travel activity with ESG goals, we believe every journey presents an opportunity to make a positive impact.

We are committed to working alongside our clients to identify practical ways that travel programmes can contribute to wider organisational objectives.

1. What social value means to us

Social value is about creating lasting benefits for people and communities through the decisions we make every day. It means looking beyond cost and efficiency and considering the broader impact of our actions.

Our approach is guided by our core values of Safety, Innovation, Teamwork, Knowledge, Integrity and Passion. These values shape how we work with our clients, travellers, colleagues and partners, helping us build trusted relationships and deliver responsible travel solutions.

For us, social value includes supporting employee wellbeing, maintaining ethical and responsible supply chains, and creating opportunities for people and communities to benefit. This is reflected through our commitment to strong governance, compliance, fair working practices and responsible partnerships.

We also help you align your travel programmes with your own environmental, social and governance objectives by providing solutions that improve visibility, support better decision-making and create meaningful long-term value.

2. Responsible Business Practices and Trusted Partnerships

Creating responsible travel programmes depends on working with trusted partners and maintaining high standards throughout the supply chain. We carefully consider the organisations we work with to ensure our partnerships reflect our commitment to ethical and responsible business.

Our governance framework includes policies and processes supporting anti-bribery, modern slavery prevention and fair labour practices. Through transparent supplier relationships and responsible procurement, we help you make informed travel decisions while ensuring your programme aligns with your values and expectations.

3. Supporting People Through Travel

People are at the heart of every successful travel programme. Supporting employees means creating travel experiences where people feel safe, valued and supported throughout their journey.

Selective Travel Management helps organisations improve traveller wellbeing through dedicated support, account management and solutions designed around individual business requirements. We work with clients to understand their traveller needs and help create programmes that are practical, inclusive and effective.

We recognise that every journey has different requirements, and our focus is on delivering the right support, tools and expertise to help people travel with confidence.

4. Responsible and Sustainable Travel

As part of our commitment to social value, we recognise the importance of supporting the communities and causes connected to the work we do. This includes encouraging initiatives such as volunteering, fundraising and community partnerships that help create positive change.

We are committed to reporting, reducing and offsetting our environmental impact, with the goal of becoming Net Zero by 2035. Through our sustainability solutions, we help clients understand the impact of business travel by providing carbon reporting and visibility of travel emissions, enabling them to make more responsible travel choices.

5. Travel as a Force of Positive Impact

When managed responsibly, business travel can create value beyond the journey itself. It supports collaboration, strengthens relationships and connects people and communities.

Social value is an ongoing journey, and Selective Travel Management is committed to evolving alongside our clients – finding practical ways to support your people, your objectives and the communities connected to every journey.
