NEW PARTNER: Slow travel as an employee benefit with Climate Perks

Blair Spowart
Co-founder

We’re excited to welcome Climate Perks to the Seedling platform community.

Climate Perks makes it quick and easy for businesses to offer sustainable travel days as an employee benefit – giving teams extra paid leave when they choose lower-carbon travel options like trains, ferries, or EVs instead of flying.

It’s a simple but powerful idea: enabling people to make more climate-friendly choices, without asking them to sacrifice their hard-earned holiday time.

And with over 140 organisations already part of the Climate Perks Club, momentum is building.

Slow travel and Climate Perks

Flying is one of the most carbon-intensive activities most of us will ever do.

  • Around 80% of flights from the UK are for leisure.
  • Half of us say we want to fly less.
  • But only 3% of us actually do.
  • The biggest barrier? Time.

Low-carbon travel can take longer. Climate Perks removes the trade-off between doing the right thing and taking a proper break.

By offering sustainable travel days, businesses help their teams act on their climate values – while supporting a positive, low-carbon culture at work.
