Hybrid Working – the business case for reducing business miles

An opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint?

In the pre-Covid world, most defence organisations clocked up thousands of business road and air miles to liaise with customers, suppliers, other sites / facilities / teams. The bottom-line benefits of the lockdown loss of this expenditure have not gone unnoticed and most defence organisations are rethinking what constitutes essential business travel.

Well before Covid-19, reducing your carbon footprint was a growing priority for consumers and businesses alike. Some defence companies had established green travel plans to encourage staff to travel in a more environmentally sustainable way to reduce costs, improve the health and morale and boost environmental credentials.

To add further focus to the environmental agenda, the Ministry of Defence published a Climate Change and Sustainability Strategic Approach report in March 2021 with a commitment to ‘recognise both the necessity and opportunity to build on our existing successes in cutting carbon and mitigating Defence’s impact on the environment.’[1]
