Boosting Active Travel to Work for Your Business
Hi ho, hi ho it’s off to work we go… but the way we choose to travel has a huge impact on our health, carbon emissions, personal finances and even the work opportunities available to us in the first place.
The way we choose or are able to travel to work easily becomes a habit - eg driving once because it’s rainy can quickly become the norm for every day. Within any workplace, especially those with many employees, there are huge positive impacts that can be gained by helping staff to break the drive to work habit and choose other ways at least on some days.
Transport is the largest source of carbon emissions here in the UK so enabling staff to reduce that can have a big impact on your overall carbon impact as a business and is a relatively easy way to reduce your Scope Three emissions.
But it’s not just about reducing carbon; there are big health and cost benefits for your staff, and for your business too.
Here at Brightwayz we provide lots of info and ideas on how to promote active and sustainable modes of travel to your workplace - too much to put here. So do take a look at our ‘For Your Workplace’ info section on our website. Starting with reasons for promoting active travel (should you need more than I’ve given here), we also suggest practical ways you can do this such as organising cycle safety checks in your workplace, products that can support your efforts and links to further info resources and ideas such as previous blogs.
Finally, active travel to work also encompasses public transport as there is usually some walking involved in getting to the bus stop or train station. Help your staff to make great travel choices which help you all.
Here at Brightwayz social enterprise we love to provide information and tips to help you, your colleagues, friends and family travel in safe, active, sustainable ways for everyday journeys.
