Milestone reached: 200 employers
200 Employers. One Powerful Shift in How We Travel.
We’ve reached a huge milestone: 200 employers have now adopted Sustainable Travel Leave.
That’s 200 organisations recognising that how we travel matters - for the climate, for fairness, and for the future of work itself.
What is Sustainable Travel Leave?
Sustainable Travel Leave gives employees the time they need to choose lower-carbon travel options - like trains instead of flights - without being penalised for longer journey times. It removes a quiet but powerful barrier that often pushes people towards flying, even when better alternatives exist.
Why 200 matters
This milestone represents:
Thousands of employees empowered to travel more sustainably
A clear signal to policymakers that employers are ready for change
A growing norm that climate action can be powered by workplace policy, not just personal choice alone
These employers span sectors, sizes, and geographies - but they’re united by a simple idea: sustainable choices should be supported, not squeezed out by outdated expectations.
Changing culture, not just policy
Sustainable Travel Leave isn’t just an HR tweak. It’s a cultural shift. It says:
Productivity can be boosted whilst being more sustainable
Time is a resource, not a cost to be minimised at any price
Climate leadership can start inside our organisations
And it works best when it’s visible - when employers talk about it, share it, and encourage others to follow.
What’s next?
200 is a milestone - not a finish line.
As more employers adopt Sustainable Travel Leave, we move closer to a world where low-carbon travel is the default, not the exception. Where choosing the train is normal. Where workplace policies help align our values with our actions.
This is what leadership looks like: making sustainable choices possible, practical, and normal.
