Another way to reduce emissions on purchases is to create a climate impact checklist for purchasing of new
goods. For example, aim to buy products that have sustainability labels or a lower carbon footprint. This could
also be implemented when buying food for corporate events and at the office.

Business travel and commuting
Business travel is a very emissions heavy category that subsidiaries have the power to affect. Therefore,
creating or revising travel policies is a very efficient tool to reduce the climate footprint. For example, estab-
lishing incentives to replace air travel or travel by gasoline/diesel vehicles with rail or electric/hybrid vehicles
is recommended. A commonly used travel policy example is that trips under 5 hours long must be taken by
train. Another way to decrease business travel emissions is to reduce travels when/if possible and instead, for
example, prioritize Teams-meetings.

Since commuting is highly dependent on office location, it is recommended that subsidiaries investigate their
own subsidiaries commuting habits to see what their highest emitters are. The companies can then see where
to prioritize reduction activity if possible. For example, by implementing incentives to switch to more envi-
ronmentally friendly commuting alternatives, such as electric/hybrid vehicles and public transport, or initiate
carpooling.

Creating a sustainability roadmap
For it to be possible to reduce emissions, all subsidiary companies can start by creating roadmaps and set tar-
gets, if they have not already done so. To create a company specific roadmap, it is recommended to first care-
fully look through the company specific emissions sheet. This will show which Scope, and which activities have
the highest emissions impacts and therefore where to focus reduction actions. Next, it is important that the
company’s ambition level is aligned. Once these two foundational steps have been done, targets can be set on
how much emissions reductions the company aims to achieve. Targets should be measurable and trackable, as
far as possible. These can be based on the recommendations in this report. To meet these targets, actions that
correspond to specific scopes or emitting activities, can then be chosen. It is important to create processes to
measure these actions in order to track progress.
