We have shared successful cases of employees in The Netherlands, Australia, and Vancouver embracing "Bike to Work" as one of the suggested micro-actions for employees under our Sustainable 22 initiative. This time, let's take a closer look at how Giant Group U.S.A. Sales Company has implemented "Bike to Work." To encourage bicycle commuting, we offered 10 Voya E+ electric bicycles for loan, enabling employees to experience the joy and convenience of commuting by bicycle. Moreover, we provide them with additional time for changing and showering upon arrival, ensuring a seamless transition into the workday. This has led to an increase in lunchtime bicycle rides within the team. We are actively exploring a "bike miles credit" system that allows employees to earn credits based on their cycling mileage. These credits can be redeemed for Giant or Liv gear items. Furthermore, we organized a Company Day Ride, which provided our employees with a fantastic opportunity to choose from a variety of riding options. To facilitate this event, everyone was granted early release at 2:30 pm. The event fostered a true sense of camaraderie as our team connected, shared their biking experiences, and strengthened their relationships. We topped it all off with a delightful BBQ dinner, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We are glad to see the overwhelmingly positive response from our team members, who have wholeheartedly embraced the bike to work culture. We firmly believe in the transformative power of cycling, not only for its positive impact on the environment but also for the well-being and happiness of our employees! #GiantGroup #BikeToWork #Sustainable22 #Sustainability #HealthyLifestyle #SustainableTransportation
