Foreign firms who have signed up include the Swedish train company MTR Express, German travel planning firm Fairway and Holland’s Better Places Travel. A number of British companies have pledged to give their employees additional time off if they opt to go on holiday via alternative modes of transport to flying. The scheme is being piloted by UK-based organisation Climate Perks. It proposes giving staff four extra days off per year, providing they reach final destinations via a method less environmentally harmful than flying. Twenty-one UK companies have signed up to the scheme, joined by a handful of corporations from continental Europe. In addition to offering more paid holidays, climate perks also offer workers an opportunity for flexible working arrangements.
