3. Encouraging Biking: We promote biking to work, providing bike storage, and incentivizing this eco-friendly commuting option.
4. Public Transport Incentives: We encourage and support our employees to use public transport by offering transit passes and covering part of the costs to make sustainable commuting a convenient option.
5. Electric Steps for the Last Mile: To make the final steps of commuting easier and more sustainable, we provide electric steps for team members to use on the way to clients, events, or from transit stops to the office.
