MISSION ZERO has been awarded Nelson City Council funding to lead a Low-carbon Commute Initiative, enabling organisations in the Nelson region to encourage behaviour change related to employee commuting.
The initial fund is for a pilot to reach around 1000 Nelson employees, with an expansion of this work dependent on further funding.
In this pilot MISSION ZERO is funded to:
- engage with a selected group of businesses,
- develop appropriate employee surveying tactics and tools,
- run focus groups and workshops to identify barriers and find solutions,
- support the development of action plans, and
- run closing surveys and reports.
The project runs from July 2024 until May/June 2025 and includes a number of touchpoints for participating businesses to meet, network and ideate. It brings together a group of large and small-to-medium (SME) sized businesses to find solutions to greener commuting barriers.
MISSION ZERO’s Low-carbon Commute Initiative is an opportunity for organisations to not only engage their employees in their sustainability goals, but to also connect and share ideas with like-minded businesses in the region.
