Corporate Citizenship Briefing 98: Sustainable Transport

It is not just about planes, trains and automobiles, but also boats, tractors, and whatever emits carbon (no matter how little) to move from A to B. With video and tele-conferencing alternatives as well as work-from-home schemes, sustainable transport is also one of the quickest and most immediate ways in which busineses can impact on the environment in a positive way.

In this edition, Melissa Henry, of Sustrans, argues that sustainable transport policies are crucial when developing corporate responsibility strategies, and Andrew Davis, of the Environmental Transport Association, calls, for attention to turn to all modes of transport. Niki Leahy encourages the development of a number of vehicle alternatives as we look towards a more sustainable future for transport. Land Rover, the car manufacturer, is profiled – can the automotive industry survive the green revolution? And then there is our regular Letter from America, where Peter Hughes says that American companies are (surprisingly?) ahead of the green transport game. And, as always, don’t miss our round-up of corporate social responsibility news and analysis.
