GATE4 is a carbon emissions calculation methodology developed by Advito, designed specifically for the travel sector, including flights. As part of a holistic approach to sustainability, GATE4 incorporates multiple factors to provide a detailed and accurate measurement of travel-related carbon footprints. For flights, the methodology considers variables such as aircraft type, passenger-to-freight ratios, carbon intensity, and even the effect of radiative forcing. This comprehensive approach allows organizations to track their emissions accurately and develop strategies to minimize their environmental impact.

The GATE4 methodology is ISO-certified, which adds a layer of credibility and ensures that its calculations align with international environmental management standards. By utilizing real-time data integration, it provides travel managers with actionable insights through the GATE4 Insights dashboard, covering not just air travel but also hotel stays, rail journeys, and car rentals. This enables businesses to identify opportunities to reduce emissions, optimize travel choices, and align their practices with sustainability goals. GATE4’s robust data-driven approach supports the development of science-based sustainability targets, helping organizations contribute effectively to global carbon reduction efforts.
