Navan’s Commitment to Sustainable Travel
Understanding the environmental impact of travel is essential for modern businesses. Navan is dedicated to providing customers with a platform that educates, informs, and helps companies reach business travel environmental goals.
Navan’s comprehensive suite of sustainability offerings — designed to track and measure carbon emissions — equips our customers with the tools to make informed decisions and comply with environmental regulations.
In doing so, Navan aims to operate at the forefront of corporate travel sustainability.
Navan’s Sustainability Products and Features
Companies of all sizes share carbon emission data with investors, board members, and the public. Partnering with Navan makes it easy to access the accurate and actionable insights necessary to understand a company’s travel CO2 emissions.
Navan identifies three pillars to help customers achieve their sustainability goals:
Track travel emissions using third-party-audited emission factor sets
Manage avoidable carbon emissions
Report progress and identify which travel sources produce the highest emissions
With Navan’s sustainability features, organizations can track, measure, and manage travel-related carbon emissions:

CO2 Dashboard
Navan offers real-time visibility and actionable insights backed by exceptional data at a granular level, including passenger name, department, airport, booking or travel date, or region.
Emissions Visibility Integrated Into Flight Shopping
Travelers can see the carbon emissions associated with each flight option; tangible examples of environmental impact drive informed choices.
Rail Alternative Pop-up
Navan nudges travelers to consider rail routes instead of flights for journeys less than 650 kilometers / 400 miles.
Individual Emissions Section
Track your CO2 emissions, including distance traveled and cost per tonne of emissions generated.
Navan Compensate

Sustainability Partnerships
Navan's sustainability strategy thrives on collaboration with companies that are global experts in the field
Neste
Navan and Neste support customers with access to sustainable aviation fuel — a pivotal technology for addressing and claiming Scope 3 emissions, which refer to any emissions generated from business travel. Neste Sustainable Aviation Fuel, derived from food waste and residual materials, decreases greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil fuels.
SQUAKE
In partnership with SQUAKE, Navan offers a carbon compensation service that facilitates access to quality carbon credits through a meticulously crafted five-step process. Navan Compensate streamlines the otherwise inefficient and opaque process of engaging with multiple stakeholders and suppliers to compensate for emissions.
Taking Action
Transparency is at the heart of our sustainability strategy. Along with our customers, Navan is learning how to manage the company's emissions without missing out on the magic of in-person connections.
Navan’s detailed analysis of our greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 underscores our commitment to continuous improvement and accountability in our environmental performance.
Here are the steps Navan’s leaders are taking:
Navan’s CO2 Emissions
Navan pledges to publish a year-over-year comparison of its emissions. The initial 2023 baseline will be a starting point for a comprehensive CO2 emissions reduction strategy.
Navan’s global CO2 emissions for 2023 accounted for 21,062.73 tonnes, mainly driven by Scope 3, or indirect emissions, which account for roughly 98% of Navan’s 2023 total emissions.
Scope 1 Emissions (Transportation):
0.04% of Navan’s 2023 carbon emissions
Main Source: Company cars used in Germany.
Scope 2 Emissions (Location-based):
1.5% of Navan’s 2023 carbon emissions
Source: Electricity and heating supply for Navan offices
Scope 3 Emissions (Indirect):
~98% of Navan’s 2023 carbon emissions
Source: Suppliers, hardware products, purchased foods and services, and business travel
Scope 3 emissions are a key focus of our decarbonization efforts, given that we have more direct control over our purchased goods and services and business travel than many other parts of our value chain.
Navan's carbon emissions have been calculated in accordance with the official guidelines and methodologies set forth by the GHG Protocol.
