Transportation

Goal
Transportation-related impacts are a big part of our Scope Three emissions, which are included in our annual ESG and emissions reporting efforts. Our goal is to understand, reduce, and mitigate all transportation-related impacts on our direct and indirect business activities.
Mandatory Data Collection
1. Perform an annual employee survey to calculate transportation-related carbon emissions.
‒ How many days are employees commuting to the studio, on average?
‒ What mode of transportation is used for each day, on average?
› Train
› Bus
› Rideshare/carpool
› Single occupancy car (gas or electric)
› Bike
› Walk
‒ Distance between the studio and the employee’s home?
‒ What barriers to reducing single car usage exist?
2. Track and report the distance of all business travel quarterly. Studio locations with multiple occupant groups (e.g. local studio, firmwide, N/N, PYR) must track each occupant group individually.
‒ Air
‒ Rental Car
‒ Third-party cars - taxi, car service, or ridesharing
‒ Personal vehicles
Policies
1. Provide the means for employees to safely lock up and store bikes out of inclement weather and protect them from vandalism or theft.
2. Provide public transportation subsidies to our US and Canadian employees.
3. Studios are prohibited from providing company cars. If there is a “Studio car” it must be electric.
