Transport: The #1 Factor in Employee Retention

Drive Your Net-Zero Goals Forward
Using shared shuttle services reduces congestion, cuts emissions, and supports CSR & ESG reporting.
Buses are good for the environment. They reduce congestion, improve local air quality and free up road space, enabling active travel measures like bus lanes for faster journeys.
Decarbonisation is no longer a ‘nice to have’; it’s a must. Responsible employers are under ever-increasing regulatory pressure to track, analyse and reduce their environmental impact – not least because workforce travel to/from work falls under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Scope 3 emissions.
Many businesses are adopting staff travel programmes to help meet ‘Net Zero’ or ‘Carbon Neutral’ goals. That’s where we come in.
First Travel Solutions can offer your employees a better work journey while consolidating travel movements to dramatically reduce your Scope 3 emissions and wider environmental impact.
