"Fly less and Drive less by using technology and reduce your carbon footprint."

 

Dawn Wise
Facilities Manager, The Wellcome Trust

"Sustainable travel is at the forefront of our thinking on Campus and is promoted with enthusiasm and drive. The multi award winning Travel Plan is 'a way of life'. Our staff recognise the benefits to the environment and themselves, in terms of financial rewards and a less stressful start to the working day that our initiatives can offer them."

Darrell Goddard

"At Sky we like to encourage our people to travel as much as possible without their cars as it’s not only good for the environment, but it helps ease congestion and it ultimately leads to a more healthy lifestyle."

Andrew Cassy
Travel Plan Manager, BT Adastral Park

"The main aim of the travel plan is to encourage employees to change the way in which we travel to work – for commuting as well as business travel. By promoting alternative travel modes and more sustainable and healthy ways to get to work, we’d like employees to think about making a small change to their daily travel. If we each decided to use a more sustainable mode of travel just once or twice days a month, or avoiding travel altogether and flexiwork, will make a significant reduction in carbon, wasted time and cost savings.”

Chris Woodhall
E.ON’s UK Travel Plan co-ordinator

"Sustainable travel is a simple way to help employees to become greener and wealthier both on their commutes to work and on those essential trips made for work. We’ve found that giving employees a range of choices and solutions that help them travel and work smarter means they are able to travel less. This saves time, cost and carbon whilst making it easier for them to find that work life balance."
