Reduce CO2 emissions during business travel:

Before moving:

• Evaluate the need for travel: Favor virtual alternatives such as videoconferencing or telephone calls.
• Choose the most ecological mode of transport:
  • Train: Choose the train for journeys > 200 km, especially in France where it emits 50 times less CO2 than the car.
  • Carpooling: Share car journeys with colleagues or via dedicated platforms.
  • Bike or public transport: For short distances, opt for active or public transport modes.
  • Plane: Limit flights, and favor direct flights and eco-responsible airlines.
• Offset CO2 emissions: If travel is essential, offset CO2 emissions through reforestation or renewable energy projects.

While moving:

• Adopt eco-responsible driving: Limit speed, anticipate braking, and use cruise control.
• Choose ecological accommodation: Choose hotels with the “eco-responsible” or “Green Key” label.

Encourage businesses to act:

• Ask your company to implement a sustainable travel policy:
  • Promote teleworking and virtual alternatives.
  • Offer carpooling and public transportation solutions.
  • Support the use of environmentally friendly modes of transportation.
  • Raise employee awareness of environmental issues.

In summary, reducing CO2 emissions during business travel is possible by adopting simple actions and encouraging companies to commit to a sustainable approach.
