Becoming a more sustainable business: why, and where to start
More and more organizations want to become more sustainable. Not just because it's good for the environment, but because it also contributes to being a more attractive employer, and to what customers and future employees expect from you. Mobility is often the fastest and most concrete first step: it's measurable, directly influenceable, and touches almost every employee.
On this page you'll find out why sustainable business is becoming increasingly important, what it delivers (including for talent retention), and where you can start.

Travel on green power
All NS trains run entirely on green electricity, supplied by wind power. That way, you travel without CO2 emissions. And you save on your mobility costs as well.
Travel energy-efficiently
In addition to climate-neutral kilometres, the train is also advantageous in terms of energy consumption. We have achieved this by
Using trains that are more energy efficient.
Modernising double-decker trains, making them 20% more energy efficient.
Introducing energy-efficient driving; accelerating quickly and letting it coast for a long time. In the past 10 years, we have already saved 30% on energy. But there is always room for improvement. We will therefore continue to work on our energy efficiency.
NS recycles waste
NS wants to return waste to the raw materials cycle in collaboration with suppliers. All the waste that we produce at stations, in trains, at company locations and in offices is processed as sustainably as possible into raw materials.
NS' goal is to recycle 75% of its waste by 2020.
Our mobility advisors are happy to think along with you about what works best for your organization. From bike leasing to a mobility budget, we look at your employees' travel behavior together and help you build a policy that genuinely fits.
