Rise of the "Rail Warriors": Supporting Low-Carbon Business Travel Gives Businesses an Advantage in the Talent War
(SOURCE: TRAVEL DAILY MEDIA)

UK businesses that fail to offer and encourage low-carbon business travel risk losing out on top candidates, according to new data from Trainline Partner Solutions (TPS). A survey of UK business travellers highlighted the importance of factoring sustainability into business travel policies, with over half (53%) of respondents stating they’d prioritise a firm that supported low-carbon travel over a competitor that did not. Almost half (44%) also fear failing to offer lower carbon travel options will negatively impact their current company’s ability to hire and retain staff in a competitive talent market.
