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.
