Perth and Kinross Sustainable Travel Summit

SSE, supported by P&K Council and P&K Chamber of Commerce, are organising and hosting this important engagement event on the 27th October at Perth Racecourse. The event which will have a focus on how large companies through to SMEs can reduce their carbon footprint by looking at alternative travel methods to work.

SSE has adopted various initiatives across their UK sites to encourage staff to use alternative means of getting to work and is keen to share our experiences with other businesses.  Locally in Perth, SSE’s efforts have included the introduction of a car parking permit system; widening of cycle lanes in conjunction with the Council; and working in partnership with Aviva, Stagecoach Perth and the Council to enhance bus routes to encourage more staff to use the bus.

The day will feature prominent speakers including SSE CEO Ian Marchant, Perth & Kinross Council Chief Executive Bernadette Malone, and Stagecoach founder, Brian Souter. To compliment this there will be workshops and a small selection of exhibitors. The workshops will be on a variety of areas and will include how to implement a cycle to work scheme; car share schemes, sustainable logistics and more.
