Detailed description (English): All employees of BKS Bank (in the countries Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia and Serbia) are invited to take part in the "Economical Mobility" campaign as part of the European Mobility Week , which participate between the 16th and 20th September 2024.
How does it work?
1. Travel to work sustainably. This means using public transport, cycling, scooting, walking or carpooling. You can enter your journey several times during Mobility Week (daily from 16 to 22 September). However, please only enter your participation in the list once.
2. Take a photo of yourself on your journey with reference to BKS Bank (for example with advertising materials, in front of a branch, etc.).
3. Enter your data in the registration form, which is stored for you in the folder ‘European Mobility Week’
4. Also save the photo in this folder under ‘Images’
5. Link to the photo in the registration form (right mouse button).
An example for the easy Registration is given in the list.
Detailed description (original language): BKS Bank has finished the mobility action. We had more than 20 participants from four countries (Slovenia; Croatia, Austria and Serbia). Together, we have made 1.800 sustainable kilometers.
Target group(s): Our employees (around 1500 in all the markets)
Objectives: How do our employees benefit?
1. The 3 best photos in each market area will be honoured!
2. The winners will each receive a voucher
3. The winners will be publicly announced together with their photos - in the news portal and possibly also on social media.
How does the BKS Bank benefit?
1. the kilometres travelled sustainably will be included in our carbon footprint calculation.
2. We have the chance to be honoured with the Mobilityaction Award.
Of course this is also a great way to start to change the mindsets of our employees, to motivate them to commute to and off work in a more sustainable way. Also we are expecting to maybe build a community of employees, that will take pride in traveling sustainable. And the photos from all the different countries will motivate further.
Sustainable development and quality are the cornerstones of BKS Bank's strategy. Accordingly, we act responsibly and focus on our sustainable development strategy rather than on individual CSR measures.
