Emissions due to commuting
Despite the rise of hybrid work, commuting still accounts for up to 60% of a company’s total emissions; these results of Ab Ovo’s CO2 Performance Ladder is what inspired team Cleaner Commutes. With increasingly stringent regulations like the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the CO2 Performance Ladder, reducing these emissions is critical for businesses. Not only to meet sustainability targets but to maintain certifications and avoid reputational risks.
