The choice depends on three things: what your employees want, your organization’s goals, and the applicable laws and regulations. Together, these help decide which mobility solution fits best.
Employee preferences
Start by listening to your employees. How do they want to travel? For example, easy and flexible to and from work, with freedom to choose how. Do they want to work more from home and travel outside rush hours? And how important is sustainability to them? Research from the European Investment Bank shows more employees find sustainability important. Over two-thirds of people under 29 look at this when choosing a job. Read the full article.
Your organization’s goals
Think about what your organization wants to achieve. Do you want to lower mobility costs, reduce administration, attract new colleagues, or downsize the fleet? Sustainability often plays a role too, because it matters to your organization or is required by law.
Laws and regulations
It’s important to know which laws and agreements your organization must follow. Organizations with 250 or more employees must meet CO2 reporting requirements. This means commuting and business travel are registered and reported. Large organizations report on sustainability under the European CSRD directive. There are also sector agreements, like the 'Green Deal Duurzame Zorg' for healthcare institutions. Sometimes collective labor agreements include rules about travel costs and travel time.
Choosing between business fuel card and NS-Business Card
Once you have all the information, choosing is easier. Is sustainability important? Then the NS-Business Card suits your organization well. Does your organization want to keep all lease cars? Then a business fuel card is the logical choice. Each mobility solution offers benefits that match your employees’ wishes, your goals, and the rules. We explain these below, so you find the right fit for your organization.
