Measure Your Organization's Commute Carbon Footprint

Understanding your employees' commuting habits is a critical first step in reducing your company's Scope 3 carbon emissions. This Employee Commute Carbon Footprint Survey helps organizations collect accurate data on how teams travel to work, how often they work remotely, and the environmental impact of their daily journeys.

Whether you're preparing for ESG reporting, benchmarking your sustainability performance, or exploring green commute initiatives, this template gives you the structure to gather meaningful data without overwhelming your team.

Built for sustainability managers and HR teams

This survey is designed for CSR managers, sustainability coordinators, HR teams, and operations leaders who need to understand commuting patterns across their workforce. It works well for companies of all sizes—from startups measuring their baseline carbon footprint to established organizations tracking year-over-year improvements.

The form captures transport modes (car, public transit, bike, walk, carpool), commute distances, frequency, and remote work schedules. You can use the responses to calculate emissions, identify high-impact areas, and design targeted interventions like bike-to-work schemes, shuttle services, or expanded remote work policies.

Automate your carbon footprint reporting with Stepper

Once you've collected commute data, you can use Stepper to automate the next steps. Set up workflows that calculate total emissions based on transport type and distance, update your sustainability dashboard, notify department leads of their team's footprint, or send personalized green commute recommendations to employees. Stepper keeps your ESG workflows running smoothly so you can focus on strategy, not spreadsheets.
