A staff travel survey is only one part of the project A well-designed staff travel survey is important. It helps an organisation understand how employees currently commute, how often they travel to work, where they travel from, and what patterns exist across different worksites. But the survey is not the whole project. It is one part of a wider workplace travel planning process. The organisations that get the most value from staff commute data are not usually the ones that si

A staff travel survey should be more than a data collection exercise Many organisations run staff travel surveys. They might use Microsoft Forms, SurveyMonkey, SmartSurvey, Google Forms or an internal HR survey tool. These approaches can be useful. They are familiar, relatively quick to set up, and can help collect basic information about how employees travel to work. But collecting travel data is only the first step. The real value comes from what happens next. A good staff

Commuting emissions are no longer just about the journey to work In recent articles, we have looked at the 2026 UK Government Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors, the commute data organisations need to calculate employee commuting emissions, and how that data can be turned into a Scope 3 emissions figure. But there is another important part of the picture. Hybrid working has changed the commuting baseline. For many organisations, commuting is no longer a simple assumption of fi

Conversion factors are only useful if the underlying commute data is good Last week, we wrote about the publication of the 2026 UK Government Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors and how the relevant factors have already been incorporated into CalCommuter. Those conversion factors are important. They provide the official assumptions used to convert activity data into greenhouse gas emissions estimates. But they are only one part of the calculation. To understand employee commuti

The 2026 UK Government Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors for Company Reporting have now been published by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. These factors are an important part of how UK organisations calculate and report greenhouse gas emissions. They are used to convert activity data — such as miles travelled, fuel used, electricity consumed or hours worked from home — into emissions estimates. At CalCommuter, we use the relevant official UK Government convers
