The Green Journey
Rather than being directed only from the top-down, the Green Journey initiative has been structured to include employees across Atlas Copco Compressors UK.
These employees are tasked with developing and promoting a range of activities and policies that the wider company can follow to reduce its carbon footprint. The initiatives
must be lasting, with tangible benefits, and able to be woven seamlessly into the working life.
