Australia’s workplaces have a new set of tools to help them cut their contribution to the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Greenfleet and the Net Balance Foundation have published a sustainable transport guide that provides employers and their employees with simple, achievable strategies to reduce emissions associated with commuting to and from work, business meetings and freight transport. Called 'The Guide has been developed with key industry players to help all businesses and organisations take up sustainable transport options. This is a visible and often immediate way for businesses to show their commitment to sustainability and a great start for any sustainability journey. Sustainable transport practices can also deliver significant cost savings, by reducing airfares, fleet costs, fuel costs, car parking and freight costs. Some less obvious benefits are improved employee health from walking, cycling and running to work, increased productivity and a reduction in employee absenteeism. The Guide provides detailed strategies and examples covering a broad spectrum of transport related issues for all organisations, regardless of size or industry. Called Your sustainable transport guide, it is available from http://www.greenfleet.com.au/Global/Researchers/Sustainable_Transport/index.aspx
