AIR TRAvEL
employees at the body shop are encouraged to use air travel as a last resort. We have a strict travel policy and sign-off procedure
to ensure that only ‘essential’ flights are taken. We also have video conferencing facilities that we encourage staff to use. however,
we accept that, as a global business, flying is sometimes the only option.
We performed a survey to ask staff about their perceptions of our video-conferencing facilities.
Video conferencing facilities in london and singapore offices were upgraded to improve performance.

Whilst there was an increase in flights from 2006 to 2007 we believe that this was due to improved data being obtained in
2007 and 2008 from our travel booking company. We are pleased that the overall trend is downward and have targeted a 25%
reduction in air travel expenditure in 2009.
