Travel and postal services
Lingo24 is committed to the ongoing development of an environmentally responsible transport strategy. Our strategy has two distinct elements: firstly, reducing the need for travel through advanced telecoms usage; and secondly, when travel is necessary, the use of the lowest impact means of transport possible.
Travel
- Many Lingo24 employees work from home, and most office-based employees work from home from time-to-time. As such, daily travel to a place of work is reduced.
- Lingo24 conducts the majority of its business by email and on the 'phone to reduce the requirement for travel.
- Where travel is required, journeys are planned to combine several meetings in order to minimise total amount of travel required.
- Flying on business is banned within the UK except in exceptional circumstances and by prior agreement with management
- Lingo24 executives travel using the following means in order of preference: foot, cycle, public transport, motor bicycle and private car. Sharing transport is actively encouraged.
- Company travel will be reimbursed at inland revenue agreed rates which include rates for use of bicycles and shared transport
Postal Services
- Lingo24 staff use electronic formats wherever possible to cut down on paper usage.
- Where possible, double-sided printing is used to reduce the weight of hard copy shipments.
