FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY
Simple route to a sustainable future
Nolato Cerbo in Trollhättan is looking to make it easier for employees to cycle to work
At Nolato Cerbo in Trollhättan, the everyday, simple route to a sustainable future is also important. That’s why all employees are offered the opportunity to buy a bicycle – standard or electric – via the company for commuting to work.
“We want to increase the use of bicycles as a mode of transport for all our employees,” explains Cecilia Hellner, CEO of Nolato Cerbo. “There used to be practical obstacles to this, such as a problem with bicycle thefts and the fact that we couldn’t offer charging facilities due to the fire risk.”
But the problems have now been resolved by building a locked bike storage room at the factory with space for charging several batteries at the same time. The charging points are connected to smoke detectors, which cut off the power if any smoke is detected in the room. A sprinkler system provides added protection.
“The storage room is available to all employees, and they can unlock it using an access tag. We hope this will now encourage more people to leave the car at home and cycle to and from work, which will have a positive impact on both people and the environment.”
