How to tackle carbon emissions and keep employees, shareholders, investors and customers happy

The need to tackle carbon emissions and reduce the devastating impact of global warming is well understood. And the UK has now made a legally binding commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. 

For this to happen it’s vital for businesses to play their part, but organisations are not just under pressure to act from the perspective of the planet. They also face considerable – and growing – scrutiny from shareholders, investors and customers, as well as increasingly onerous legal obligations. Failing to reduce carbon emissions, and be seen to do so, will not only make it harder to win customers and attract staff; it could even threaten the viability of a business altogether. 

One area where they can have a big impact is in helping employees switch over to electric vehicles (EVs), which can reduce emissions, not just from business travel and the commute to work, but also from employees’ wider travel.
