Cutting CO2 emissions with data: a smarter mobility management

In the race to reduce their carbon footprint, many companies focus on energy consumption in offices or manufacturing processes. Yet, for many companies, the majority of CO2 emissions come from mobility. For service companies, this figure can reach up to 40-50% of total emissions, mainly due to business travel and commuting (source: EEA).

Understanding your mobility footprint

The first step towards significant and realistic reduction is a comprehensive data analysis. By mapping your your employees’ mobility patterns, you can identify high-impact opportunities that benefit both the environment and the company’s wallet.

The importance of commuting

Where do your employees live in relation to your offices? What is the average commuting time between home and work? These questions aren't futile - they have a direct impact on your carbon footprint and employee satisfaction. With good data visualisation, you can :

• Identify geographical groups of employees
• Calculate your total commuting emissions
• Determine an optimal office locations that minimise travel time and emissions
• Improve employee satisfaction by reducing commutes

Overview of individual emissions

Understanding which employees generate the most emissions when they travel is not about finger-pointing - it's about targeting your sustainability efforts where they will have the greatest impact. This data allows you to:

• Identify priority areas for reducing emissions
• Offer alternatives to these employees for sustainable commuting
• Track progress towards your carbon reduction targets.
