Our Commuter Champions - Business Travel


As part of our Staff Travel Plan and your feedback, we are in the process of developing a new Staff Business Travel Policy which aligns to core strategic objectives to be more sustainable in our operations. This policy will help you to decide if the journey requires to be made and if so, how you could do this in a more sustainable way, to help both the environment and also our corporate travel expenditure.

You told us...

"You are making business travel choices based primarily on the ease of the process to claim costs back rather than which mode may be more sustainable and appropriate. For example, simplifying the process to claim back public transport costs would encourage more staff to make this choice"
 

Through our new Business Travel Policy we will...

Help you to understand the importance of the 'Scottish Sustainable Travel Hierarchy'- to help you decide the most suitable and sustainable mode of transport for your journey

Provide guidance on how best to make your sustainable journey by foot, cycle or public transport

Provide links to our corporate fleet vehicles for use

Provide details on the use of taxis

Provide guidance on the use of personal vehicles
