CitySwitch - Reduce your travel emissions Sydney workshop
Event description
Join us for our upcoming face-to-face workshop focused on understanding, measuring and reducing businesses travel emissions. Â
To reach net zero, businesses need to account for their travel related emissions. Business travel, for example, can account for around 10% of an SME’s carbon footprint and is a focus area for many of our CitySwitch members.Â
This workshop, delivered in partnership with BWD Strategic, will build on the national webinar and provide you with a deeper understanding of your business related travel emissions, methods to capture and quantify them and ways of setting realistic targets by developing an internal travel policy. There will also be a hands-on activity on managing and reducing your scope 3 travel emissions within your organisation.Â
This workshop will cover:Â
- an introduction to scope 3 travel emissions and a recap of our national webinar
- capturing, measuring and quantifying travel emissions
- demystifying electric vehicles
- developing a travel policy for your business
- managing and reducing scope 3 travel emissions
- next steps and future commitments.
Facility managers, sustainability officers, office managers, green teams or simply those looking to understand all things travel emissions related, this will be a great discussion for you.
We welcome potential new CitySwitch members to this workshop.Â
Light breakfast catering will be served and a free tea/coffee voucher for the onsite café will be provided. Don't forget your reusable coffee cup.
