About Us

We design, popularise and advocate for innovative solutions which make low-carbon choices more accessible and easier to make.

Possible is a grant-funded charity founded in 2009, and through our various projects, we work to make it easier for people to take action on climate change, and help more people to be involved in the transition to a zero carbon UK.

We envision a world where sustainable living is available to everyone, and trigger systems change to ensure the climate friendly choice is always the most desirable choice.

Why do we advocate for STL?

Sustainable Travel Leave (STL) can be applied to leisure or business travel. We advocate for it as a high-impact, ultra low-cost solution to the following issues:

Flying is extremely carbon intensive

  • Flying is the most polluting thing an individual will do in their life and commercial aviation is one of the largest contributors to the UK’s CO₂ emissions

  • Business travel is one of the largest growing contributors to employer emissions.

People want to fly less and want their employer to take more action on climate

  • 67% of UK flyers say they want to fly less.

  • Employers are facing a talent landscape where environmental action and policies are becoming a major differentiator.

Flight-free journeys often take longer

  • It often takes longer to travel by land or sea, which is a key barrier to flight-free travel for even highly motivated individuals.

Does it work?

Yes. Already adopted by ~200 employers, Sustainable Travel Leave…

  • Overcomes a key barrier to flight-free travel, enabling and supporting colleagues to make low-carbon travel choices.

  • Drastically reduces Scope 3 emissions - often by more than 90% per journey.

  • Aids recruitment efforts and improves employee retention.
