In an age of constant change, as companies attempt to navigate the Green Transition we are often asked about the benefits of shared commuting and why this adds value to a business’s transport offering.
First and foremost, if the current global fluctuations in weather around the world have taught us anything, it is that climate change is very real and the implications of this are being felt more regularly, motivating firms to seriously consider their ecological footprint.
About a third of the UK’s CO2 emissions can be accredited to transport, a figure which is on the rise primarily due to the number of cars on the road. Transport is the single largest emitting sector of carbon dioxide, making up 27% of total emissions, and the 52% of commuters use still use the car to get to work. WeMove is well aware of this and therefore provides a platform for organisations, universities and local authorities to initiate shared commuting amongst their staff, students or residents. We have set-up a transportation infrastructure that supports low-emission vehicles and active travel, minimising your business’s environmental impact. Shared commuting reduces fuel consumption and is more carbon efficient as less cars on the road means less pollution is released into the environment. Thus, the first obvious benefit of shared commuting is an ecological one!
