Discover how MovePlus Mobility prioritises sustainability in global mobility programs, setting a new standard for corporate responsibility and explore 7 key areas for eco-conscious practices in business.

As businesses continue to rapidly change and develop to meet new standards, sustainability must stay top-of-mind. It has become a crucial business component across various industries, including global mobility and relocation. Corporate responsibility demands businesses to become increasingly aware of the impact of their operations on the environment and society.

At MovePlus Mobility, we are proud to be at the forefront of this movement, integrating sustainability into every aspect of our business and service delivery. Our commitment to sustainability is not just a matter of corporate responsibility, but also a reflection of our values and our vision for a better future. By working with MovePlus, our clients can be assured that they are making a positive impact on the planet, while also benefitting from a high-quality and reliable talent mobility service.

We believe that by leading the charge in sustainable relocation solutions, MovePlus can contribute to a more sustainable world for future generations.

Here are the top 7 areas within global mobility programs where companies can implement changes to be more sustainable:

1. Sustainable Transportation Solutions

Transportation plays a significant role in carbon emissions and environmental impact. Minimize carbon footprint by covering eco-friendly transportation options for assignees in your policy(s). These can range from electric vehicle renters to public transit pre-paid cards. Also, many airlines now let passengers know if a flight is sustainable, so you may encourage assignees to book those flights first.

2. Green Packing Materials

Embrace sustainable packaging solutions for shipments. When prioritizing the use of recyclable materials and employing strategies to minimize packaging waste, you can ensure that shipment packaging practices align with your commitment to sustainability.

Examples of sustainable packaging materials include:

• Recycled cardboard boxes: Opt for cardboard boxes made from recycled materials
• Biodegradable packing peanuts: Instead of traditional foam packing peanuts, companies can use biodegradable alternatives made from materials like cornstarch or wheat starch, which break down harmlessly in the environment.
• Recyclable paper padding: Use paper padding made from recycled materials which provides cushioning for items during transit while being recyclable after use.
• Reusable moving containers: Rent or use reusable plastic moving containers to eliminate the need for single-use cardboard boxes.
• Eco-friendly tape: Choose tape made from biodegradable or recycled materials.
• Biodegradable bubble wrap alternatives: Rather than traditional bubble wrap, companies can opt for eco-friendly alternatives made from materials like recycled paper or biodegradable plastics.
• Plant-based packing materials: Packing materials derived from renewable resources, such as packing peanuts made from cornstarch, are an excellent alternative to traditional petroleum-based materials.

3. Energy-efficient Housing Options

There are many energy-efficient housing options available to relocating employees worldwide. Our DSPs may partner with properties that have green building certifications, have solar panels, or an onsite EV charging station.

4. Employee Training and Education

We believe that education is key to driving meaningful change. That’s why offering global employee training programs aimed at raising awareness about sustainability practices is crucial. These trainings can empower our employees to adopt eco-friendly behaviors both professionally and personally, ensuring that sustainability is ingrained into company culture.

5. Partnerships with Sustainable Suppliers

MovePlus Mobility collaborates with global suppliers and vendors who share our commitment to sustainability. We prioritize sourcing eco-friendly products and services for our global mobility needs, ensuring that our supply chain aligns with our sustainability goals.

By tracking key metrics and sharing progress, MovePlus and our clients can be held accountable continuous improvement.
