RTBF uses Mbrella as part of their ecological transition programme
In recent years, RTBF has implemented performance indicators to closely monitor its CO2 emissions, particularly by reducing the number of kilometers traveled by car. The company has placed a strong focus on soft mobility and remote work, initiatives that align with its carbon footprint reduction program, Impact On.
Today, RTBF primarily uses Mbrella to calculate and reimburse mileage allowances as well as public transport subscriptions. In the future, the platform will also help further develop its mobility policy.
Frédéric Pairoux, Mobility Manager à la RTBF
“At the RTBF, we're using Mbrella to implement our mobility plan. For the moment, we're only using a few of Mbrella's features, but particularly the Bike mileage allowance and all types of public transport subscriptions.”
Motivating employees to trade in their cars for a more sustainable solution is RTBF's aim to help reduce the company's carbon emissions.
“We have a whole program called Impact ON at RTBF, in which there is a big focus on eco-production, which is very important to us.Travel plays a major role in this area and is an integral part of this focus.”
With a large number of employees cycling to and from work, the commute planner is used extensively in the company, replacing a more traditional method used previously: the Excel file.
Amélie De Lange, Brand Project Manager at RTBF
“When I found out that it was possible, I simply entered my home-to-RTBF commuting data, and it calculated the round trip. Mbrella has enabled me to enter all the data in a transparent and easy way and to automate everything.”
Amélie is happy that she just had to use the platform a couple of times, which she says is a load off her daily routine. Whether it's raining, windy or snowing, Amélie doesn't give up and gets on her bike to enjoy the fresh air when cycling!
