Most journeys within big cities are made by people travelling to their place of work.
Travel at peak times by private car can cause traffic congestion, which has a significant impact on pollution levels in large urban areas.
This is why companies have an important role to play in promoting sustainable mobility and raising awareness among their employees by offering alternative mobility plans that are more environmentally friendly.
Fostering healthy habits, encouraging a more rational use of private vehicles that contribute to pollution and promoting electromobility are key measures that enable companies to promote more sustainable ways of getting around the city.
Encourage healthy habits
Making people aware of the importance of a lifestyle that has benefits for both physical and emotional health, one that includes a healthy diet, physical exercise, and psychosocial management, is a great starting point for organisations.
Incentivising cycling or walking can help to reduce the number of journeys made using vehicles that pollute, and is also a way of promoting physical and emotional well-being.
Minimise the need for travel
An intensive timetable, flexible working hours and teleworking can all help to reduce the number of journeys to work that are necessary, minimising the effects of the pollution associated with the use of private vehicles.
Furthermore, encouraging car sharing among employees can increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of getting around using a private car with low environmental impact.
Promote electromobility
The electrification of the organisation’s vehicle fleets and giving bonuses to employees for travelling in electric vehicles are examples of initiatives that can incentivise electromobility within organisations.
Internal communication channels can be the most useful tools for an organisation wishing to promote healthy lifestyles and mobility options that are compatible with more environmentally friendly urban models.
