Carbon Reduction Plan
At RideTandem, we are committed to leading the way in sustainable employee and university shuttle services.
Our vision is to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future. Recognising the challenges in the current market, we are dedicated to addressing these issues head-on while maintaining the highest standards of service for our clients.
1. Carbon Neutral Options
We are proud to offer all our clients the opportunity to make their shuttle services carbon neutral through our partnership with climatepartner.com. This option allows organisations to offset the carbon emissions associated with their journeys, meaning carbon neutral is an option already in 2023.
2. Transition to Electric Vehicles
We understand the importance of reducing emissions at the source. While electric vehicles (EVs) are currently in short supply and come at a premium, we are actively working with our partners at zenobe.com to support our operators in transitioning to electric fleets. Through long-term contracts, we empower our operators to make the necessary investments in EVs, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable transport ecosystem.
3. Long-Term Contracts for Sustainability
RideTandem is proud to support our operators by helping to secure long-term contracts. These agreements not only provide stability for our operators but also enable them to plan and invest in electric vehicles, paving the way for a sustainable future.
4. Transparent Measurement and Reporting
RideTandem is committed to transparency in our carbon reduction efforts. We understand the importance of accurate measurement to track progress and make informed decisions. To this end, we implement comprehensive tracking systems through our driver app and detailed vehicle occupancy reports to measure and report CO2 emissions associated with our employee shuttle services.
4.1 Driver App Tracking
Our advanced driver app enables real-time monitoring of routes. By leveraging this technology, we gain valuable insights into individual journeys, allowing us to identify areas for improvement and optimise routes for greater fuel efficiency.
4.2 Vehicle Occupancy Reports
Detailed vehicle occupancy reports provide us with a holistic view of resource utilisation. By analysing data on passenger numbers per journey, we can optimise vehicle capacity, reduce the number of underutilised trips, iterate the routes taken, and, consequently, lower overall carbon emissions.
4.3 Commitment to Accuracy
We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy in our emission measurements. Regular assessments ensure that our tracking systems align with industry best practices, providing our clients and stakeholders with reliable data on the environmental impact of their employee shuttle services.
5. Stakeholder Engagement
RideTandem encourages open dialogue with clients, operators, and other stakeholders regarding our carbon reduction initiatives. By fostering communication, we aim to share insights, address concerns, and collaboratively work towards achieving our collective sustainability goals.
As we move forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to not only reduce carbon emissions but also to accurately measure and report our progress. By embracing transparency and engaging with stakeholders, RideTandem aims to set a benchmark for environmentally responsible employee shuttle services.
6. Continuous Improvement
We recognize that achieving our net-zero goal requires continuous effort and innovation. As technology evolves and more sustainable options become available, we will stay at the forefront, exploring and implementing new solutions to further reduce our environmental impact.
By aligning our efforts with our operators, clients, and partners, RideTandem is dedicated to making a meaningful contribution to carbon reduction. Together, we are driving positive change in the employee shuttle services industry, creating a more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solution for businesses across the UK and Germany.
