Navan

Intelligent, sustainable spend management for conscious enterprises

Roots of Responsibility

Navan (formerly TripActions) was founded in 2015 with a dual mission: to modernize corporate travel and to embed sustainability into every transaction. Founders Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig believed that efficiency and environmental stewardship should coexist—not compete.

From its inception, Navan designed its platform to reduce waste: eliminating paper receipts, optimizing routes to lower emissions, and giving companies real-time visibility into their carbon footprint. By 2017, the platform was not only saving clients millions in travel costs but also preventing thousands of tons of CO₂ annually.

The 2023 rebrand to Navan marked a deepening of this commitment—launching the industry’s first integrated Carbon Dashboard and partnering with verified carbon offset programs.
