Why focus on transport: Transport is a central part of every business, whether it involves staff travelling to and from work or managing a vehicle fleet as part of your business activity. Vehicles are key contributors to greenhouse gas emissions so making positive changes to your business travel habits can produce significant benefits. When considering how to begin to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the use of your vehicles you will need to investigate the five categories of workplace travel: 1. Commuter travel – How do staff get to and from work? 2. Work travel – Where and how do staff travel during work hours? 3. Goods travel – How are goods delivered to and from your site? 4. Visitor travel – How do visitors and clients arrive at your business? 5. Fleet vehicles – What is the primary purpose of your vehicle fleet? Considering these can help you to identify opportunities to reduce your greenhouse emissions across all of the five listed areas of business travel. Additionally there are a number of web sites that will guide you through a detailed step-by-step process, to create a green travel plan for your business. travelsmart.gov.au environment.gov.au/settlements/transport/
