Cycle Friendly Employers deliver carbon reduction and improve employee wellbeing.
Our certification is the European Standard by the European Cyclists Federation delivering Active Travel Cycling in the workplace for over a decade. The certified symbol demonstrates to employees, customers, visitors, and suppliers your commitment to cycling as a mode of transport, sport, and recreation. Being a Cycle Friendly Employer is a simple way to decrease transport emissions, reduce transport costs and improve employee wellbeing.
