Another component of ECOCOOL\u2019s sustainability strategy is bike leasing. \u201cWe have introduced a bicycle leasing scheme,\u201d explains Dr Florian Siedenburg. \u201cBusiness bikes are key to modern employee mobility and something we can no longer do without.\u201d They are also a unique means of achieving positive effects across multiple levels, especially within the company. So far, 20 employees have taken advantage of the offer created by ECOCOOL in collaboration with a local bicycle retailer.<\/p>\n
The financial incentives are especially attractive for our employees. \u201cThrough converting salary entitlements into benefit-in-kind charges, we can provide our employees with leased company bicycles,\u201d explains the Bremerhaven businessman, who goes on to tell us that the administrative workload for the scheme is minimal. Moreover, thanks to the new 0.25-percent rule for calculating the benefit-in-kind charge, employees incur only about a third of the costs that would normally apply. This applies both to business bikes and business pedelecs (up to 25 km\/h) \u2013 with private use included. \u201cOur employees were especially interested in acquiring e-bikes,\u201d Siedenburg adds. They are also delighted that their employer further subsidises the leasing instalments by contributing 20 percent.<\/p>\n
The new project also has a positive effect on the company\u2019s carbon footprint as well as on the health of the employees. Dr Florian Siedenburg is delighted that so many of his employees have taken up the bicycle leasing option, and tries his best to set a good example. \u201cI can\u2019t always come to work by bike, I\u2019m afraid,\u201d he laments. But he does hop on his two-wheeler whenever possible. An e-bike? \u201cNo, I prefer racing bikes,\u201d he says grinningly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
