A new survey has revealed that a fifth of companies plan to take advantage of home working to reduce both CO2 emissions and the number of employees travelling by car.
According to WTW’s 2022 Company Car Benefits Survey report, a fifth of those surveyed also said they plan to introduce CO2 emission ceilings on their vehicles in light of stricter environmental standards.
Of those yet to act, 73% of companies plan to review their company car policies in the next year with half doing so for environmental reasons and nearly a third (31%) planning to introduce new low-emission vehicles to their fleet.
Samantha Rogers, International Survey Consultant at WTW, said, “Climate change is a continually pressing concern for both companies and employees, which is reflected through the changes that are being made to car benefit policies not only in the UK, but across the globe.
“The uptake of electric vehicles aligns with the push towards the UK 2030 electric car mandate and signals the change in attitude from companies and colleagues towards vehicles and their impact on the environment. But it’s also interesting to see how the shift to mass working from home has affected the need for company vehicles.”
