Reduce Journeys & Mileage
Where possible eliminate or reduce journeys and mileage.
If you have staff driving to and from meetings by car consider if the meeting's goal can be achieved by using remote communications such as telephone, email or video-conferencing. Substitute road journeys for these where appropriate.
If your business is haulage, journeys on the road are inevitable. However, some transport companies are now increasingly using rail freight for some long-distance hauls. This might depend on load and destination.
