Improving air quality

Air quality affects our health, environment, and quality of life therefore monitoring and working to improve air quality can have significant social, environmental, and economic benefits for everyone.

Encourage employees to use public transport or active travel

Encouraging employees to use public transport or active travel can have significant environmental benefits. It reduces carbon emissions, improves air quality, and supports active lifestyles.

Promoting active travel can also reduce a business's carbon footprint and boost productivity.

The Cycle2Work scheme makes cycling more accessible to employees. EV cars can also be offered through salary sacrifice schemes.

Ensure offices are well insulated and ventilated

Poorly ventilated spaces hold more CO2, which can impair cognitive function, reduce concentration, and cause symptoms like fatigue, headaches and dizziness.

This negatively impacts employee wellbeing and productivity. Additionally, prolonged exposure to damp and mould can lead to sick days.
