For over 40 years, the “Mobil ohne Auto” campaign (Get moving without a car) has called for sustainable alternatives to cars and enjoys great popularity thanks to its numerous events. This year, the warm weather and the success of the ‘9 Euro ticket’, a flat-fee monthly pass for regional public transport, boosted the appeal of other modes of transport.
As an employer, STAR Deutschland promotes a raft of environmentally friendly alternatives, for example, by taking part in the „Mit dem Rad zur Arbeit“ (Cycle to work) scheme, providing employee incentives through the Job-Rad bike leasing platform, providing solar-powered charging points on site for e-bikes, by covering a proportion of the costs for travelling by public transport.
Since May, there has been a renewed push to actively encourage all STAR employees to complete their daily office commute on two wheels as frequently as they can. Those who work from home were also encouraged to hop on a bike for any trips they make away from their desk. For every person who manages to use their pedal power on at least 20 days during the campaign period of May to August, the company will donate a set amount to a charitable organisation.
Getting active with a stylish Job-Rad bike improves employee health, protects the planet and does some good, all at the same time – an easy decision to make!
Keep fit and keep moving!
