Mobility & Co2
Measuring Co2 emissions at HZ
In 2015 and in 2019 we measured the Co2 emissions caused by HZ University of Applied Sciences. Both Co2-scans were done by International Business students, who graduated on this project. In 2019, about 77% of emissions are caused by students and employees travelling to and from HZ. This means that we can gain a lot by focusing on green mobility.

Go-About
Need a bicycle? Grab one of the 50 shared bicycles for your trip in a few simple steps. The bicycles are equipped with a lock that you open with an app. You can unlock the bike with your phone, close the lock with your phone and return it to one of the drop-off locations at the end of your journey. Create an account, download the GoAbout app and start your journey! Shared bike Zeeland is an initiative of CycleHub, Province of Zeeland, GoAbout and HZ.
HZ Green Office actively supports bike riding. It's the most healthy and sustainable way of transport! Our collaboration with GoAbout is aiming to spread awareness about the availability of these shared bikes as an easy and affordable way to move around.
This Spring HZ Green Office will organise a number of bike tours on the GoAbout bikes, visiting organic farms that are located near HZ. The bike tours will be announced soon. Don't miss them!

- E-Mobility ParkE-MOBILITY PARK: With this project, our goal is to encourage HZ employees to make use of the electronic cars that are located less than 5 minutes from the HZ. We do that by grabbing opportunities to inform the staff about the cars and the process from making the reservation to parking the car at the park after usage.
The linkage between this project and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that want to transform our world:
11. Sustainable Cities and Communities- Make cities and human settlements safe, resilient, and sustainable.
13. Climate Action- Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
17. Partnerships for the Goals- Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
