Oil workers could be offered incentives to ditch the commute and move closer to the city in a bid to meet green targets.
Aker Solutions is considering rolling out a relocation policy as part of plans to reduce the number of its staff who travel to work by car .
The company commissioned management consultants Mott MacDonald to produce a travel plan as Aker prepares to move to its new office at Dyce International Business Park.
It means workers who live more than 50 miles from the Dyce office could be offered a cash incentive to move closer to the city.
An Aker Solutions spokesman said: “The document makes a number of suggestions for us to consider.
“These include some initiatives already adopted such as lift-share schemes, subsidised bus travel and provision of cycle bays and changing facilities.
“In addition, the document includes a number of potential options for consideration including electrical car parking bays, use of car clubs and relocation assistance for employees who live more than 50 miles from the office.
“Not all of these suggestions will be automatically adopted – we will work with local transport providers, the authorities and our staff to find the best solutions to achieve our environmental goals.”
An estimated 73.9% of Aker’s employees travel to work by car or van.
The target is to reduce it to 58.8%.
The firm’s new building will accommodate 2,400 staff and will have around 1,200 car parking spaces.
