Rewarding positive changes
WWF's One in Five Challenge aims to galvanise the growing desire among businesses to fly less by providing a focus for flight reduction. With clear aims and with buy-in from boardroom level, the One in Five Challenge can help accelerate the organisational commitment to greener business travel that will need to happen to reduce flying. What's more, the One in Five Challenge is an easy way to let your business partners and investors know that you as a business are doing the responsible thing and flying less.

- help with quantifying cost and carbon savings to communicate to investors and others
- opportunities to attend videoconferencing demonstrations
- an annual workshop to help companies implement the One in Five Challenge

More good reasons why businesses are flying less:
- Saving money – not just on plane tickets but accommodation and other expenses
- Better use of time, and less disruption to working schedules
- Meeting’ global clients and suppliers more often, meaning better communication and collaboration
- Decisions get made quicker
- Productivity increases
With 25% of companies now measuring their carbon emissions, cutting back on non-essential business travel is increasingly viewed as a quick way of making big carbon savings.
In fact, as more companies produce annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports, and pressure grows from government, there’s an expectation that carbon emissions will be reduced.
