"Am I bovvered?"

Are you Really ‘bovvered’?
Are you serious about running an environment
programme for business travel - and gaining the
resultant benefits?
OR
Do you just want to make statements of intent and do
as little as possible?
---------------------------------------Is travel in the “too difficult to do” box?
“Doesn’t make any difference - the plane still flies”
“we can’t stop travelling” ????

Climate Change can be Good for Your Company
• Companies are under pressure from stakeholders to reduce
CO2
• How do you do this without increasing costs?
• Do you see reducing CO2 as a business proposition or not for
you?
• More and more companies are making the link between
addressing climate change and reducing travel costs
• Adopting a more responsible travel policy is not only good for
the planet; but is also sound business sense
How serious is your company taking climate change?

Where are the Opportunities?
Implementing a proven methodology will deliver both
carbon emission reductions and revenue income
1. Assess company approach
Review your company’s attitude to climate change & capture key corporate
and brand objectives. Obtain senior management sign off and commission
basic CO2 footprint report
2. Define business requirements
Understand CO2 footprint, create a company values statement, policy
direction & targets. Investigate how you can eradicate & reduce travel plus
the scope for compensating via carbon offset schemes
3. Create a programme
Amend and/or create travel policy to include environment targets, advice
and ‘travel smarter’ options
4. Implement the programme
Engage & empower employees: communicate, educate, benchmark
performance & continually review & revise

How to Assess the Opportunities?
Utilising a toolkit will aid delivery of both carbon
emission reductions and cost reduction
 Carbon footprint
 CO2 analysis & diagnosis
 Policy and programme review
 Supplier RFP analysis
 Benchmarking
 Communication and education
