Why Choose GHGi Commuting?
Simplying the process
Conducting an employee commuting emissions survey from scratch is complex, time consuming and resource intensive. Calculating and reporting of the results even more so, that is why you should choose GHGi Commuting.
​
We simplify the process by providing a range of material, including; training videos for both employees and administrators, email templates and detailed instructions for managing the process.
Improving the response rate
Motivating employees to complete the survey is essential. On completing the short survey, GHGi Commuting instantly calculates and presents the employee's weekly commuting emissions. This is proven to improve the response rate.
​
Details of those yet to complete the survey is available at any time. Using this information allows follow-up emails to be sent to those who have not yet responded. This is often all that is needed to encourage employees to complete the survey.
Guaranteeing Accuracy
GHGi Commuting uses the DVLA database to calculate the emissions from motor vehicles. To this is added the range of factors, which is the most accurate results for cars, vans and motorcycles. For Plug-in Hybrid and Battery Electric vehicles we include all the emissions relating to the electricity used.
​
With public transport GHGi Commuting uses the UK government's emissions factors. Accuracy is essential when evaluating the impact of measures used to reduce employee commuting emissions.
Reducing Admin overheads
Using GHGi Commuting ensures your administrative overhead is minimal, as we ensure that the emissions factors and underlying calculations are always kept up-to-date. Various reports allow your commuting emissions to be viewed in different ways, including destination and travel mode.
​

Homeworking
GHGi Commuting allows you determine just how beneficial homeworking really is. Although it removes the commuting element, there are still emissions from the use of electricity and heating in the home. Any benefit in reduced emissions will depends on the distance and types of transport used on the commute. The benefit of this is that it allows the organisation to determine just how beneficial homeworking is and if there are ways to make it more so.
Administration Features
GHGi Commuting's Administration Console includes a wide range of report formats, including; emissions by location, emissions by transport type and homeworking emissions. There is also a report those who have not yet completed the survey.
​
The console allows administrators both bulk upload employee details or enter them manually. Setting up annual or quarterly reporting periods is also done in the console. This provides considerable flexibility when measuring commuting emissions across different time scales.
