Epiroc, a leading partner in mining and infrastructure equipment manufacturing, looked to improve global travel management for its international workforce. A disconnected approach to travel with fragmented data across their international network made it difficult to gain visibility of employees, meet environmental obligations, and control travel costs.
Epiroc collaborated with American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) to develop a strategic global travel policy. A steering group of HR, finance, sustainability, and purchasing stakeholders created alignment with management needs. Amex GBT did an assessment, recommended policy standards and KPIs, and provided subject matter experts to develop and roll out policy.
