Emissions based on mode of transport
Choosing the right mode of transport makes a big difference for the climate. Here is a quick guide to help you understand how different options affect emissions:
- Flight: One of the largest sources of emissions, especially for short trips where there are almost always alternatives available.
- Car: Different fuels have different climate impacts – electric cars are the most climate-smart choice, while fossil fuels like petrol and diesel should be avoided where possible.
- Train: One of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel, perfect for both long and short distances.
- Bicycle and public transport: Excellent options for commuting and local travel, with minimal or no emissions.
By combining several of these options and avoiding flights as much as possible, companies can create a smart and sustainable travel plan.
Smart solutions for commuting
Local travel and commuting can also be part of a sustainable strategy. Companies that encourage their employees to choose climate-smart options, such as cycling or using public transport, can make a big difference. One example is the Swedish company Edge, which rewards its employees with bonuses for choosing bicycles over cars – a measure that both inspires and contributes to a better climate.
A climate policy that makes a difference
Implementing a climate policy is a powerful tool for reducing the impact of travel. A simple change, such as prioritizing digital meetings over long trips, can have an enormous positive effect. It not only saves emissions but also time and money. With small steps, the company can make a big difference for both the environment and profitability.
