Create green travel practices Offsetting CO2 emissions is an important endeavor for all modern companies. But tree-planting and tree-protecting initiatives will only get us so far. Every company and individual also needs to be more mindful of how much CO2 they’re putting into the atmosphere in the first place. Sometimes, what’s good for the earth is also good for the budget, and this is often the case with travel. Here are three green travel policies you can put into effect: Walking under a certain distance With Gett, you can set up a travel policy that encourages or requires employees to walk for trips under a certain distance. And of course, you can set individual policies to allow cars for all distances for people with disabilities. Trains over planes Using a travel management platform like TravelPerk, you can encourage or require travelers to book trains instead of planes for certain distances, as trains emit less CO2 per person per trip. Carpooling when available One of Gett’s more advanced features for large companies is carpooling. When hiring a car, employees can be required to hop in a carpool if someone from your company is already headed in a similar direction. Once the policy is set up, putting it into effect is easy and automatic. 11
