The occasional exciting destination or drive through the countryside on a sunny spring morning should not hide the truth. Most business travel is expensive, generates greenhouse gas emissions and impacts productivity - workers are rarely productive when on the move. In the 24x7 world, compensating for lost working time spent travelling leads to longer working hours, less time spent at home, greater employee stress and lower productivity. Meanwhile, the associated carbon dioxide emissions are often a significant proportion of an organisation's carbon footprint. Looked at this way, who would not want to make things better?
Work-related travel is a significant contributor to the UK’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and often accounts for 25% to 75% of an organisation’s total emissions. The good news is that reducing the CO2 emissions created by travel brings cost savings, increased productivity, and improved employee health and satisfaction. This new paper discusses the scale of the problem, potential solutions and how to make the case for change.
