On the way to CO2 neutral
Amsterdam UMC is on its way to becoming CO2 neutral in 2050. The travels of employees, students and researchers make an important contribution to the CO2 footprint of Amsterdam UMC. In addition, travel is not always necessary because nowadays there are sufficient opportunities to consult digitally. The new business travel policy will therefore apply from 1 September 2023. There is a focus on less and greener travel and traveling by train is becoming the new norm.
What are the principles of the reshaped travel policy?
- Business travel is reduced wherever possible by using video conferencing or other digital alternatives.
- Travel will be by train if the distance is less than 700 km or with a travel time of up to 8 hours, calculated from Amsterdam Central Station.
- For destinations under 700 km, flying is only an option in highly exceptional situations and after approval from your supervisor.
- Final destinations beyond 700 km or train journeys of more than 8 hours can also be done by train. A corresponding additional overnight stay can be claimed.
- Is your destination further than 700 km and air travel is necessary? Then direct flights from airlines with a CO2-efficient aircraft should be chosen as much as possible.
