Arkadin Travel Less
Reconsidering the necessity of frequent business travel is a great way of helping to reduce your business CO2 emissions. Today, more and more companies are increasing their usage of remote collaboration solutions, such as Audio & Web Conferencing, as a practical alternative to business travel. This decision can help to reduce costs, save time and cut carbon emissions, by simply taking responsibility for the well-being of employees, the environment and your bottom-line.
Why travel less?
The business case to reduce your business travel requirements:
- Climate change is now an issue that no responsible business can ignore.
- Business travel can represent more than 50% of a company’s carbon footprint*.
- Each company has a role to play in reducing their carbon emissions
- Staff retention can increase through providing a sustainable working environment for employees that encourages a greater work-life balance
- A win-win scenario for your business and the environment.
The benefits of travelling less?
Increasing the use of remote collaboration solutions can help your organisation to:
- Sustainably meet the demand for mobility
- Reduce your carbon footprint
- Save costs by reducing the amount of business travel
- Increase productivity by having fewer employees out of the office travelling
- Contribute to your corporate social responsibility targets
- Enable employees to think responsibly about business travel

Climate Care Day : A working day without business travel
Supported by WWF, Climate Care Day is an environmental initiative, created by Arkadin, to help you encourage the easy and practical alternatives to business travel.
On a specific day, this we call your Climate Care Day, all we ask is that you replace your business travel with alternative remote collaborative soltions, like Audio & Web Conferencing, and for ONE DAY don’t travel on business - hold virtual meetings instead.
In return Arkadin will donate all billed revenue from your chosen Climate Care Day directly to WWF to help contribute to their work on climate change, to ensure the continuation of a healthy planet where people and nature thrive.
Check now when the next Climate Care Day event will take place and/or contact your account manager to organize your own Climate Care day www.climatecareday.com
