estimates via Google's Travel Impact Model
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, June 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation
(NASDAQ: SABR), a leading travel technology company that
powers the global travel industry, announces a significant
milestone in its focus on sustainability by integrating carbon
emissions data into its point-of-sale tools for corporations and
travel agencies. As part of Sabre's and Google's long-term
partnership Sabre has integrated Google's Travel Impact Model (TIM)
to display the carbon footprint of flights on its systems, thereby

GetThere is expected to implement the model towards the end of the
year.
This announcement comes as part of Sabre's and Google's
strategic partnership, now in its fourth year, which includes
migrating Sabre's data centers to Google Cloud and is a meaningful
step toward reducing the company's overall emissions.

an important step in bringing sustainability information to the
mainstream for corporate and leisure travelers," said Kristin Hays, Chief Communications and Corporate
Responsibility Officer, Sabre. "As a technology company that sits

choices, and we are delighted to extend the reach of the Travel
Impact Model through Sabre," added Sebnem Erzan, Head of Travel
