Our Service

How we help employers to adopt Sustainable Travel Leave, and support employees to access flight-free travel.

Possible is a grant-funded charity founded in 2009. For over five years we have advocated for Sustainable Travel Leave as a high-impact, ultra low-cost workplace policy, and we have provided free support to hundreds of employers interested in adopting Sustainable Travel Leave at their organisation. We also make it easier for people to plan and book flight-free travel.

Our (free) service and support is outlined below.

  • ✓ Template policies

    Tried and tested over six years by almost 200 employers. Adapted to the tone and language or your existing policies.

    ✓ Employee procedure documents

    And request forms - making admin quick and simple.

    ✓ Support for HR/admin teams

    Ongoing and comprehensive. We’ll help you to set up Sustainable Travel Leave on your HR system and support your HR / admin teams for as long as your policy is in place.

    ✓ Launch press release and comms materials

    We’ll help you to celebrate your new accreditation publicly.

    ✓ Employee launch session

    Ensuring everyone is aware of the good news and knows how to access the extra benefits.

    Here’s an overview of the implementation process.

Costs

The full service is offered completely free of charge

We are a grant-funded charity and Sustainable Travel Leave was designed to break down barriers - enabling and empowering people to choose clean travel, and to discover the world without causing so much harm to it.

We never want cost to be a barrier to accessing clean travel, so you do not have to pay to access our service and ongoing support.

To reduce our reliance upon grant funding, we operate a Pay What You Can Afford model. Any donation your organisation can afford would be incredibly well received.

We are a registered charity and 100% of any donation we receive will help to unlock clean travel for more people and power the clean travel revolution.

Implementation Process

Choose your approach

Leisure and/or business travel. Standalone policy or integrated into an existing policy. We can help you decide which approach would be best for you.

Get your policy signed off

We’ll give you the relevant policy template and can help you to get it signed off. We’re happy to come to any meetings and provide additional info as required.

Launch it together

Once you’ve had the policy signed off, we can help you set it up on your HR system before launching your new policy together - both internally, and externally if desired.

  • "Sustainable Travel Leave is an obvious way of doing something meaningful, and swapping planes for trains is a really tangible way for staff to do something on a personal level, that the firm can support."

  • "At MTR Express we are all about promoting sustainable travel. We know that many people want to travel sustainably but for longer distances the longer travel time becomes a hurdle. There has been a lot of excitement about the scheme among our staff."

  • "For Bennetts Associates, offering Sustainable Travel Leave is a clear signal of our climate leadership, making it explicit both internally and externally that this is a key part of the way we do business. We recently told a recruitment agency about it and they were very excited about it, saying it’s exactly the sort of forward thinking policy that people want."
