Dutch Employers Will Need To Report Employee's Work-Related CO2 Emissions From July

Large employers in the Netherlands will be required to report all mileage travelled by their employees from 1 July. The reporting requirement applies to employers with 100 or more employees on 1 January of the relevant reporting year.

The new obligation applies if an employer provides financial compensation for commuting or business travel; or provides the opportunity to use a bicycle, moped, motor vehicle or ticket for public transport or other mobility facilities; or both.

What data should be provided?

Each year, an employer must provide the total number of kilometres travelled for all employees, broken down by mode of transport and fuel type. There are some exceptions. For example, air travel and employees that work less than 20 hours per month are excluded from the reporting requirement.
