Ahead in sustainable mobility? Make NS Go work for you

These trends call for a flexible, sustainable and innovative mobility policy. How do you and your company respond to these trends? By encouraging the use of shared transport. We offer NS Go as a solution for this. This is the complete platform for your future-proof business mobility policy.

One platform for your mobility

NS Go combines a mobility platform with a mobility card. No more different systems, just one platform on which you can view and arrange all your mobility. For example, the settlement of travel expenses and home office allowances.

Less administration

An additional advantage of this platform is that you spend a lot less time on administration. NS Go sends a monthly invoice with the trips that employees make using public and shared transport. So you no longer have to process separate travel claims.

Easy door-to-door

Loading the balance in advance is also a thing of the past. With the NS Business Card, colleagues can now easily travel with public and shared transport. All trips, both private and business, are automatically tracked. The same applies to the costs and CO2 emissions involved. So you have all the administration in one place and can easily meet the CO2 reporting obligation.

Business mobility: the situation now

More and more employees expect a sustainable and flexible mobility policy from companies. This is one of the most important terms of employment. Not only employees value it highly. The government is also putting a lot of effort into this. Stricter environmental regulations are constantly being introduced to which business travel policies must be adapted. It is therefore important to keep up to date with current emission standards and reporting requirements.

Five trends in business mobility

1. Green working conditions

Many companies are choosing to be "green". This means helping their employees live and travel more sustainably. Some companies therefore give extra vacation days if they use the train for their travel. There are also employers who pay a bonus if an employee travels sustainably throughout the year. Giving a higher mileage allowance when using public transportation versus the car is also a great example of green working conditions.

2. Freedom in how you travel

Employees are more often allowed to choose how they come to work. With the NS Business Card, they can easily use the various forms of public (partial) transportation. From bicycle to train to car. This makes travel flexible and helps comply with new government regulations.

3. Looking critically at lease cars

Many companies are asking themselves whether it is still smart to offer lease cars for commuting. With more people working from home, lease cars are being used less. A budget for travel may be a better idea. Employees can then choose how they travel.

4. Smart parking management

With fewer available parking spaces due to construction, some companies are using smart systems to reserve parking spots. This makes better use of limited space and ensures employees have a spot as soon as they come to the office.

5. Participate in larger agreements

Many companies are committed to emitting less CO2. They start sustainable initiatives themselves or participate in larger agreements such as the Climate Accord. This is not only good for the environment, but also often a desire of employees and customers.
