Climate Action - Assisting business towards carbon neutrality

Reduce the environmental impact of your business transport

Published on 30 April 2008

The mobility of people and goods is a key element of any business, but the way your organisation uses transport can also offer opportunities to improve your environmental performance and reduce costs.

Vehicle use can cause environmental harm. Vehicle emissions, such as carbon dioxide, contribute to climate change. Dust and other air pollutants can also lead to poor air quality and ill health.

In addition to reducing your environmental impact, better use of transport can lead to a number of benefits for your business. These include financial savings, increased business opportunities and improved business image, which can potentially increase your customer base and help attract new employees.

This guide provides advice on how to choose and use greener methods of transport, for staff travel and your supply chain, and identifies some of the many business advantages. It will also help you to identify the free advice programmes, training, tools and financial incentives that can help your business take action to reduce your carbon footprint and transport costs.
