Notes:

• The CO2 element for our business travel has reduced over the last two years. This is due to changes within the business which have affected business travel, including a reduction in the direct sales force, the phasing out of company cars within some business areas and the increase in meetings being via telephonic and video conferencing technology.

Public Transport
Prudential gives interest free loans to employees to purchase public transport season tickets.

Company Cars
Car fleet management provide company car drivers with details on how to drive efficiently and save fuel, in addition to the environmental benefits of having a car with lower CO2 emissions.

Four travel surveys have taken place since July 1999 and environmental travel plans are in operation in Reading, Derby and Craigforth. Further details of these schemes will be added to our case studies during 2002.

Procurement within the UK now manages a single group travel contract providing a more accurate and simplified method of monitoring travel information from the UK Business units.
