Mobility Challenge: Technord takes 3rd place

31 Aug 22News, Technord adventure

In 2022, we took part in Mobility Week and ended it with a3rd place podium finish in the UWE Corporate Mobility Challenge.

The principles and objectives of the Mobility Challenge

Throughout Mobility Week, citizens, businesses, workers and public authorities are invited to give priority to alternative, environmentally-friendly solutions for their daily journeys and the transport of their goods.

The aim? To promote existing alternative mobility tools, measures and solutions to their staff.

That’s why, during Mobility Week, companies are encouraging their employees to learn more about different means of transport (e.g. information sessions on car-sharing and leasing, scooter and bike tests…).

Participating companies also organize original activities throughout the week to raise staff awareness.

Focus on Technord’s Mobility Week initiatives

Mobility Week is a good opportunity to launch a dynamic around soft mobility (public transport, carpooling…) and active mobility (walking, cycling…).

Over the course of a week, our employees at various sites were able to try out different modes of transport to get to work: cycling, scootering, walking, public transport and carpooling.

Our workers had the opportunity to have their personal bikes checked out during an interview, and were also able to try out electric bikes.

Mobility Challenge activities at a glance

During Mobility Week, we organized many activities:

  • Breakfast
  • Car Free Day
  • Play area in the parking lot
  • Fritkot
  • Various events

The results of our mobility initiatives

In total, no less than 2,680 km were covered by soft mobility, which represents almost 500 KG of CO2 saved! Thanks to the efforts of all our employees, we reached3rd place on the podium of the UWE Corporate Mobility Challenge.

This positive assessment encourages us to continue in this direction!

From now on, we make this dynamic part of our daily routine, mobilizing our teams around a goal and sharing positive experiences.

In fact, our objective for 2030 is to reduce our CO2 impact by 24%.
