It's important for the University to maintain it's excellent research reputation and part of that involves national and international collaborations, conferences and working. For many staff at some point this is likely to involve travelling on University Business.<\/p>\n

The University of Reading is committed to reducing carbon emissions from Business Travel and has adopted a business travel hierarchy<\/a> to help everyone make appropriate decisions about travel options by reducing the need to travel, using lower carbon modes by preference and only use higher carbon modes after careful consideration. To embed these practices the University has approved a new Travel Policy<\/a> and set of Sustainable Travel Principles<\/a>. You can find out more on the University's Procurement pages<\/a>, which includes Frequently Asked Questions.<\/p>\n

You can find some handy hints on this page and further information is available on our Sustainable Travel pages.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
