Embracing Sustainability in Transport

Offset carbon emissions with DrivenConnect.

DrivenConnect is a leading transport booking platform used by over 20 organisations to find the best quotes for their minibus and coach hire needs. Whether it’s a corporate event, a school trip, or a community outing, Platty ensures that you get the most competitive prices and reliable services. But beyond convenience and cost-effectiveness, Platty places a strong emphasis on sustainability.


The Sustainability Dashboard

One of the standout features for business customers is our comprehensive sustainability dashboard. This tool allows organisations to:

Track Emissions: Monitor the carbon emissions associated with each booking.
Report Emissions: Generate detailed reports that provide insights into the environmental impact of their transport choices.
Offset Emissions: Access options to offset the emissions, making their travel more sustainable.


By integrating these features, DrivenConnect empowers organisations to make informed decisions that align with their sustainability goals.


Real-Time Carbon Emission Estimates

At the quote level, DrivenConnect provides estimated carbon emissions for each transport option. This transparency is crucial for organisations aiming to minimise their carbon footprint. Additionally, Platty labels the most carbon-efficient options, allowing users to prioritise sustainability alongside price and convenience. This dual focus ensures that organisations don’t have to choose between cost and environmental responsibility—they can have both.


The Advantages of Offsetting Carbon Emissions

Offsetting carbon emissions offers numerous benefits:


Environmental Responsibility: By offsetting emissions, organisations take responsibility for their carbon footprint, contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability enhances an organisation’s CSR profile, which can improve brand reputation and customer loyalty.
Regulatory Compliance: In some regions, businesses are required to report and manage their carbon emissions. Platty’s features help organisations stay compliant with these regulations.
Employee Engagement: Employees are increasingly concerned about their employers’ environmental impact. Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability can boost morale and attract talent.
Customer Trust: Consumers are more likely to support businesses that are transparent about their sustainability efforts and take active steps to reduce their environmental impact.


Trusted Carbon Offsetting Partners

DrivenConnects' carbon offsetting feature relies on carefully selected, trusted partners. These partners are vetted from hundreds available to ensure that the offset projects are credible and effective. When organisations choose to offset their carbon emissions through DrivenConnect, they can be confident that their contributions are making a real difference.


Detailed Offset Reports

Once carbon emissions are offset, DrivenConnect provides organisations with a comprehensive report. This document outlines the specifics of the offset projects supported and the total amount of carbon offset. These reports are invaluable for internal sustainability records, external reporting, and demonstrating accountability to stakeholders.


Conclusion

Incorporating sustainability into transportation decisions is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. DrivenConnects carbon offsetting feature is a game-changer for organisations striving to reduce their environmental impact. With real-time emission estimates, a user-friendly sustainability dashboard, and partnerships with trusted carbon offset providers, DrivenConnect makes it easier than ever for organisations to make eco-friendly choices.
