What if every business trip could not only reduce emissions and control costs, but also channel money directly into climate action?

That’s exactly what our new partnership with BCD Travel makes possible. Together, we’re bringing carbon pricing out of the back office and into the booking process — visible, actionable, and easy to scale.

For companies, this means total flexibility: decide the level of your internal carbon fee and where the money goes. For travelers, it means seeing the true cost of carbon at the moment of booking — not hidden away in a quarterly report.

Why this matters now

Until now, most corporates handled carbon fees manually. Funds were set aside once a month or once a quarter, with little to no impact on how travelers booked in the first place.

With eco.mio’s plug-in integrated into BCD’s online booking tools — including Concur, Cytric, and TripSource — carbon fees become part of the decision itself.

  • Carbon costs appear at checkout, right next to the ticket price.

  • Contributions are channeled directly into SAF investments or back to the company.

  • No extra contracts or security hurdles — the rollout is global and seamless.

It’s a shift from carbon accounting to carbon awareness.

Why travelers and companies benefit

For travelers, visibility changes behavior. Seeing a carbon fee at the point of sale makes the environmental impact tangible. As BCD’s Lutz Nauert put it: “This is about highlighting emissions in the booking tool and steering travellers towards a better airline or a better aircraft.”

For companies, it’s about control. You decide the carbon price level, ensure CSRD compliance, and redirect funds where they create the most value — whether that’s SAF, offsets, or internal sustainability projects.

A first step with big impact

A major European company has already rolled out the solution, channeling its collected fees into SAF. Other clients are starting with awareness: making sure travelers see how the carbon tax affects overall budgets before deciding how to invest the funds.

As eco.mio CEO Katharina Riederer explains: “Some clients want to use the fees for SAF right away, others simply want travelers to see the cost of carbon and how it impacts the overall budget.”

This flexibility is what makes the solution powerful: it works whether you’re ready for SAF today or just starting to connect climate costs with travel budgets.

More than a tax: a lever for change

At eco.mio, our mission has always been to link everyday travel decisions with long-term sustainability goals. With BCD, we’re taking that one step further: embedding carbon pricing into the very tools business travelers use.

Or in Kati’s words: “There’s an even bigger scope of behavioral change that we want to enable customers to realize — going beyond nudging travelers and into systemic change with carbon taxes and SAF fares.”

With this partnership, clients reduce emissions and gain budget control. Travelers see the cost of carbon in real time. And sustainability investments, like SAF, become part of everyday travel programs.

That’s not just a carbon fee. That’s turning policy into practice.
