Support the active and decarbonised mobility of my employees

Promote soft mobility within your company

In order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, minimising the use of the vehicle fleet and promoting soft mobility alternatives is crucial. This measure aims to reduce the company’s carbon footprint by reorganising the company’s general mobility.

Considering the country’s special situation in that public transport is free, employees should make more use of it by changing their consumption habits.

Analysis and definition of the company’s decarbonisation project

Identify the company’s current mobility situation

• Analyse the means of transport used by employees for their home-work commute as well as business travel: e.g. carry out an anonymous survey of all employees
• Find out about currently available means of transport for the home-work commute as well as business travel such as trains, buses, company vehicles, personal vehicles, walking, cycling, carpooling, etc.
• Quantify transport

Definition of future needs

• Define the general objective of the company’s mobility
• Develop a basic concept including the employees’ specific actions
• Create a working group on mobility at work, together with your employees
• In terms of passenger transport, find out more about ecomobility.
• Install secure parking and charging facilities for electric bikes/scooters.

Identification of a solution to meet the company’s needs

Implementation of the company’s general mobility concept

• Use the MConcept service: this is a concept, which, based on surveys and accessibility studies, geographically analyses the place of residence of employees in relation to the company’s location, and proposes solutions to incentivise a switch from personal vehicles to alternative mobility. This service is offered free of charge by the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works.
