Implementing Employee Commuting Emissions Reporting

Implementing commuting emissions reporting takes thought. Explain why the need to report employee commuting emissions.  In some cases, your customers might require it as part of the sales or tender process.  It may be a requirement of a government contract, as with PPN 06/21. It may be a desire on the organisation's behalf to state it's beliefs.

​​

Increasingly, employees are concerned about the impact of climate change.  Helping them to feel part of the process will encourage increased participation in the survey process, The greater the number of of survey responses, the greater the credibility of the reported emissions.​​​​​

One of the benefits of GHGi Commuting is that your employees will learn what their emissions from commuting and homeworking really are.  Many people find this is really useful information. 

​

For the organisation it can help it to decide what can be put in place to support employees wishing to reduce their emissions.

​

These could be things like workplace showers and secure cycle stores.  Charging points for battery electric cars, perhaps at a discounted rate, to encourage uptake.  The ability to charge electric cycles and scooters is another option.

It is important to describe how the data collection will work and what to expect. GHGi Commuting has a range of online videos tutorials for both users and administrators.  If required, we can work through the details with you in advance.

 

Apart from the tutorials we provide a range of support documentation.

Reassure your staff that the results will not be used to force them into changing their travel choices.  Explain that you understand that for many people cars will be the only practical option.

It s essential that your employees do not feel threatened by the process.​  When implementing commuting emissions reporting employees must not feel threatened.
