Corporate
Corporate shuttle services that attract talent and move your Scope 3 needle.
RideTandem runs door-to-site corporate shuttles for FTSE 100, manufacturing and multi-site UK employers. One bus typically takes 23 commuter cars off the road, cuts your GHG Protocol Category 7 (Employee Commuting) footprint, and gives HR a retention story - all with auditable data ready for CSRD, SECR and CDP disclosures.
The corporate commute
Employee commuting is now one of the biggest levers on retention and Scope 3.
The core problem
Why corporate commuting is now a board-level problem.
Three pressures have converged in 2025-26. Return-to-office mandates meet commuter fatigue; Scope 3 Category 7 disclosure is now non-negotiable for large UK employers under SECR, CSRD (for EU-parented groups) and voluntary CDP filings; and on-site parking is capped in almost every new planning consent. Transport sits at the intersection of HR, ESG and Facilities.
- Retention risk. Commute cost and stress is a top-three reason employees cite for leaving UK jobs - and it is one of the few an employer can directly fix. CIPD Good Work Index, 2024
- Scope 3 data is weak. Most firms still estimate commuting emissions from employee surveys, not audit-grade journey data - the lowest tier of GHG Protocol data quality. GHG Protocol, data-quality guidance
- Parking is full. UK office parking ratios are capped in most new planning consents, so growth can no longer be absorbed by more spaces. RTPI / local plan data, 2024
- The cost of labour keeps climbing. Make UK puts the cost of turnover at £30,614 per mid-salary vacancy - a number a reliable commute directly protects. Make UK, Labour Market Outlook 2025
