On your bike – new scheme for employees to reduce emissions
October 1st 2009 Advance Cleaning Services has
adopted a new bike scheme to
encourage its employees to be
more environmentally friendly.
The scheme will allow employees
to buy taxfree
bikes
through the
company
that can be
used for work
purposes. It is
hoped that
employees
will also use
the bikes in their spare time.The
company has already seen a
positive uptake among staff.
One employee who has
recently signed up to the scheme
is Drew Ferrugia."I've always
enjoyed cycling and jumped at
the chance to get my hands on a
bike for work," says Ferrugia."I
think it's a great idea – cycling is
emission free and it keeps you fit
and healthy."
"This is a great addition to our
environmentally friendly
policies," says David Saville,
director."We've had a positive
response from our staff and hope
it will be a big step towards
reducing our carbon footprint,
which we are aiming to reduce
by 20% by 2010.
"I am aware that for some staff
and services, cycling will not be
an option, particularly if bulky
equipment is required.We hope
to address this issue in future by
looking into electric and bio-fuel
vehicles." More articles from Advance Cleaning Ltd: |
