Mobility of our personnel

An important part of the Group's environmental footprint is made up of employee business trips. We are implementing strategies for the sustainable management of business travel, seeking to reduce the related greenhouse gas emissions.

First and foremost, we try to cut down business travel by promoting the use of video conferencing and promoting smart and remote working.  In Austria, France and Italy there are also tele-appraisal systems for claims management, which reduce the number of car journeys by assessors.

The travel policy favours the use of public transport over private cars and, among public transport, promotes those with less impact on the environment, such as trains instead of planes. Our car policy sets maximum limits on CO₂ emissions for company cars.
