Better travel, better business
Businesses today face the combined challenge of addressing their own CO2 emissions whilst remaining profitable. Companies must increasingly demonstrate social and environmental responsibility to stakeholders at all levels.
Transport is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions, and commuter and business travel constitute nearly 40% of miles driven by car. Measures to reduce excessive vehicle use are vital for any business seeking to make its operations more sustainable.
A workplace travel plan can help.
The
National Business Travel Network (NBTN) promotes
workplace travel planning as a cost effective way for businesses to reduce CO2 emissions and benefit staff.
