Details
This research and analysis outlines attitudes of businesses towards encouraging employees to reduce commuting and business travel emissions. It also highlights the perceived benefits for businesses to adopt these practices, which are to:
- enhance the business image
- improve recruitment and retention
- strengthen business strategy
This analysis also highlights the main barriers for employers to encourage these practices, which are:
- cost and time to introduce and maintain initiatives
- low awareness of initiatives and how to introduce them
- perceived administrative and logistical challenges in adopting and maintaining initiatives
- low employee uptake
- lack of infrastructure (for example public transport infrastructure) at business premises
These studies were commissioned to inform a possible Commute Zero programme.
