We’ve been monitoring our transport impact in Afallen for just over a year now, as part of our assessment against the Seren EMS. Our data is imperfect; it relies on individuals filling out their individual trips made, and we all have pressing priorities. But – it’s a start, and it gives us an idea of our environmental impact.
As we all work remotely, this is the only really quantifiable impact, so it’s important for us to do as much as we can to reduce it!
That’s why, in general, we don’t travel to meetings or events, except where we think the environmental impact will be offset by the learning and networking opportunities at the meeting or event.
Where we do travel, we prioritise active travel, then public transport, then electric vehicles, keeping fossil fuelled vehicles as a last resort ?➡️?➡️??➡️?➡️?➡️??.
As part of our Environmental Improvement Plan we have committed to sharing our spreadsheet with the world, so if you’re a similar sized organisation, perhaps this spreadsheet will work for you.
You can download or copy the spreadsheet here. Happy data-gathering! And let us know if you can improve on our design ??
