CNZ: travel and transport
Transport is currently the largest emitting sector of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the UK.
Therefore reducing carbon emissions within this sector is critical to achieving the UK Government’s Net Zero strategy to reach zero emissions by 2050.
We can help you to reduce your carbon emissions and minimise the impact of transport on the environment by helping you to buy a range of sustainable travel and transport solutions. From sourcing operational fleet and zero emission vehicles to traffic management, vehicle charging points and public transport, our frameworks support you to progress each stage of your carbon net zero (CNZ) journey.
Start your journey with travel and transport
Setting the right strategy for your travel and transport to deliver carbon reduction can be complex and challenging.
Initially looking at each of the component parts for travel, fleet and wider transport is a good place to start, then bringing them together ensures you have a full picture of your impact and your opportunities.
We have created guides for you to gauge where you are and to discover your opportunities to reach carbon net zero:
