Mobility and Travel
Commuting and business travel were the EPFL’s main source of greenhouse gas emission in 2022 with 12% and 38% of its Carbon Footprint. In order to reduce its environmental impact, the School has decided to implement an innovative and ambitious mobility plan and to review its Travel Policy.

In 2023, the School formalized its climate objectives and an action plan in the Climate & Sustainability Strategy, in order to reduce its CO2 emissions by an average of 40% (from 2019 levels) and to aim for Net Zero by 2040. Representing half the environmental impact of the School, commuting and business travel were identified as main priority lines of action of the Climate Strategy.

One third of EPFL’s overall CO2 emissions are due to air travel. It is therefore a priority to reduce the School’s carbon footprint with regard to travel. Let us help you organize more sustainable trips!
