Going from home to work is what employees mostly do with their individual cars everyday, and it has a huge impact on human beings and the environment: CO2 discharge, floor sealing of the roads and car parks, crash risk, and so on. La Mondiale is concerned about the impacts the journeys of its employees has on the environment and on the neighbourhood. The company headquarters, where around 850 people work, is located nearby a subway stop.
Key Strategies:
Restricting car use.
Making the use of parking lots more rational, as they are neither numerous nor safe enough.
Clearing sidewalks and the streets around the building
Promoting the use of alternative means of transportation.
• La Mondiale implemented a business trip scheme (« plan de déplacements d’entreprise » : PDE) in partnership with transport companies such as SNCF, Ademe, Ademn and Transpole. The latter already implemented its own “geographic localization” plan.
• The workforce got information over PDE’s stakes thanks to surveys, conferences during the “sustainable development week”, talks, training...
• Alternative means of transportation were offered to employees:
- An off-street parking is booked for carpool;
- The company pays half of Transpole travel card (bus and subway) and part of SNCF travel card (train). These are directly sent to volontary employees to promote public transport.
- A car park is booked for two-wheel vehicles, as well as showers and locker rooms for people walking or riding to the workplace.
• Human performance is boosted :
- Dialogue and team spirit
- Sense of general interest
- Pride to belong to the company
• Car-park fees are limited.
• Suppliers and customers are welcomed in a better way.
• Corporate image is strengthened.
