National Bike Week
Employees in Jersey are being encouraged to swap their car for a bike to travel to work this week, in order to cut down on their carbon emissions.
In October last year, HSBC in Jersey held its first ‘Cycle to Work’ day, when more than 250 staff changed how they travelled to work for the day.
This week is National Bike Week and, as a result of the success of last year’s event, HSBC is this year holding a ‘Leave Your Car at Home’ day on Friday 20th June.
At the same time, the Bank is encouraging other businesses in the Island to join with them in order to make a combined effort to reduce the amount of carbon emitted by travelling to work by car. Those who are not able to cycle to work are being encouraged to leave the car at home and either walk, car-share or take the bus.
Everyone who is keen to take part is invited to join HSBC staff in the Royal Square at 8.30am on Friday, where a free bike check will be provided thanks to Jersey Bike Repairs.
