2. Green transport

[ch 2: page 12]

Transport is currently responsible for more than a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions, and these emissions are rising rapidly. However, there are a multitude of ways of encouraging employees to adopt green transport to get to and from work or when they have to travel as part of their job. It is critical that any changes to transport policy are properly communicated to employees so that they know what alternative transport methods are available to them and most importantly so that they understand and support what is being done.
