Everything you wanted to know about riding to work ... but were afraid to ask!
The question of petrol vs diesel and the environment is often debated. Honda's Graeme Seymour sheds his perspective on the issue.
For a business that literally runs on its ability to visit clients face to face across New Zealand, it’s absolutely vital to keep a mobile sales force humming along. Committed to reducing its environmental impact and reduce fuel costs, Hachette NZ called on GreenFleet.
The Ask an Expert Adviceline is a free service for SBN members and GreenFleet participants and provides access to advice from some of New Zealand's top sustainability experts. SBN has amalgamated a panel of specialists from within the organisation, as well as from a number of expert partners, who are able to provide a response or else source the information for you. Whether you're seeking recommendations for a recycling provider, or unsure of what you should be including in your emissions calculations, contact us with any sustainability question relating to your business.
Transport and vehicles are one of the categories on Greenlist, the World’s first Product and Services Directory where listings are compared with sustainable principles.
Flying on an occasional basis can add up to more CO2 emissions than the rest of your personal life combined. Even if your conscience has been overcome and you still need to board that flight to a meeting in an exotic and far-flung location, there are a few measures you can take to help reduce the impact.
Choosing the right vehicle for the job makes a big difference in improving overall fuel efficiency and safety, and reducing environmental impacts. But making sense of the various sources of data on vehicles can make this a difficult job. The GreenFleet Vehicle Procurement Tool enables all vehicle buyers to compare their potential choices by bringing together the variety of vehicle information sources such as Rightcar and manufacturers' own data, to give an 'apples-with-apples' comparison.
