Ericsson Nikola Tesla First Cycle-Friendly Company in Croatia

Ericsson Nikola Tesla is the first company in Croatia to be awarded the European “cycle-friendly” certificate, whereby it joined the new initiative by socially responsible companies in Europe, sharing a common goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, along with a positive impact on the health of their employees.

The Cyclists' Union is the coordinator of certification in Croatia, and on this occasion, they emphasized that by encouraging the employees, as well as visitors, to use their bikes as a means of transportation, Ericsson Nikola Tesla serves as a positive example of advocating and practising sustainable modes of transport, as well as of responsibility towards health, the environment, public space, and cost saving. Cyclists’ Union says that nowadays, when reducing the impact of motorized transport on the environment and human health is crucial, examples of the first certified company and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, as the first certified institution, show a positive shift towards direct and active action in this area.

Ericsson Nikola Tesla continuously raises awareness and increases motivation of its employees to follow up on the topics regarding the environmental protection and rational energy management; moreover, it participates in various initiatives related to this. Through its portfolio, which encompasses various e-solutions, such as ePrescription or Joint Information System for Land Registry and Cadaster, as well as through its active management of the impact its activities have on the environment, including its premises, product transport, business trips, commuting, the company positively affects the environment and significantly decreases carbon dioxide emissions.

Seeing as the Cyclists’ Union is the coordinator of certification in Croatia, it implements the program of certifying the so-called “cycle-friendly” organizations on behalf of the European Cyclists' Federation, making the organizations standardized at European level. The program consists of consultation, evaluation, and certification. Any company that wishes to become “cycle-friendly” too, can contact the Cyclists’ Union at info@sindikatbiciklista.hr.
