Advantages of Certification
Good for Your Image
Bicycle-friendly employers are more attractive to employees. Furthermore, bicycle friendliness promotes employee wellness and team spirit.
Good for Health
Bicycle-friendly measures increase the number of employees on the bike, thus promoting exercise. In addition, employees who come to work by bike have a third fewer sick days. They are happier, more balanced and more productive.Good for Our Environment
Cycling is sustainable. Bicycle-friendly measures contribute to environmental preservation, and are an essential part of sustainable mobility management.
Good for Your Budget
Bicycle-friendly employers save money. Bicycle parking facilities take up less space than car parking spaces, and infrastructure costs are lower, even if all expenses for an adequate cycling infrastructure are taken into account.Process in 3 Steps to Certification
♥︎ Self-Evaluation
You check online whether your company has enough points for a positive on-site audit.
♥︎ Register for the audit
If the self-test shows that it makes sense to be certified, register for the audit. An CFE auditor will check your bike-friendly measures on site and prepare a report.
♥︎ Certification
If the outcome is positive, you will receive the “Bicycle-friendly employer” seal in bronze, silver or gold. The certification is valid for 3 years.
