Our Sustainable Transportation Policy

#Our Company Is Committed To Sustainable Transportation.

We recognize that safe and sustainable transportation contributes to the overall experience of our clients and the impact of their journey to our country. Our company therefore endeavors to encourage our clients to consider the most sustainable transport available for their travel route. We encourage our suppliers to work with us and to improve continuously with respect to the Policy.

Wherever possible, all staff will pursue the following goals and adhere to the specified principles when purchasing products, material and services.

Transportation Principles

This policy will be part of the Sustainability Policy. The policy is applicable to the transportation activities conducted by our company and our suppliers. The policy will be formally reviewed every 2 years to ensure its relevancy. The Managing Director or an officer delegated with such authority must approve any deviations to this policy.

1. Efficient and safe Considering comfort, efficiency and pricing our company gives preference to private/single transportation. At the same time, we prefer the safest and most comfortable option.

2. Fair mobility All vehicles should comply with the rules and regulations imposed by the government of India. Vehicles are regularly and properly maintained and drivers are well taken care of under good labor conditions (minimum wage, reasonable working times, proper breaks, etc.).

3. Minimizes effect on the environment and society The transportation supplier places high priority on sustainable practices, aiming at minimizing its effect on the surrounding environment and society.

4. Client Own Vehicles

Where private transportation is requested by the client.
First aid kit and waste collection bag on board.
The right vehicle for the group size.

5. Vehicles from Third Party

Vehicles should be regularly and properly maintained.
First aid kit and waste collection bag on board.
We will request the right vehicle for the group size.

6. Drivers They are well informed about our sustainable transportation guidelines (with emphasis on “clean and safe”) and understand and follow our Code of Conduct for Drivers.
Should be physically and mentally fit to ensure safe driving.
Are well informed on health and safety regulations and traffic rules.
Have quality driving and communication skills.

7. Flights Because of the bad condition of the roads and long time that overland journeys take, we sometimes use flights for longer distances within the country, as it saves a lot of time. We use flight wherever it is convenient.

8. Code of Conduct for Drivers All drivers who operate for YatraZone understand and follow these codes of conduct.

Safe driving
Check your vehicle prior to the journey to ensure that your vehicle is within safe operating conditions. Checks should include
o Proper inflation of tyres;
o Clean windows;
o Mirrors properly adjusted;
o Brakes, lights, windscreen wipers, and wash jets are in working order.
Drive within the speed limit at all times. You should drive at speeds that are safe for the conditions, recognising that, in some circumstances (such as before and in curves, on damaged or unpaved top layer, in rain or fog) this may be well below the posted speed limit.
Wear a seat belt at all times, and ensure passengers do the same.
Look as far ahead as possible and anticipate what other traffic is going to do. Avoid unnecessary braking and fast acceleration.
Drive courteously by letting other vehicles merge and pass where appropriate. Be patient with other drivers’ mistakes and misbehaviour. Also, be extra careful around pedestrians and cyclists, allowing them sufficient space and time to move about.
When you know you will have to stop soon, release the accelerator, and roll out in free gear.
Never drive under the influence of alcohol, medications or other drugs that are likely to affect your alertness or driving performance. Do not drive if you are unfit to do so. Plan realistic driving schedule and stop for appropriate breaks.
Mobile phones will not be answered while driving, unless hands-fee option is available.
When leaving the vehicle, properly lock it and ensure that any personal belongings of our guests are kept safe.
9. Sustainable management

Keep your vehicle clean and suitable for our clients at all times. This includes keeping your vehicle smoke-free.
Be punctual and dress appropriately.
Where necessary assist passengers into and out of the vehicle.
Ensure there is a waste bag/bin on board of the vehicle and point this out to clients prior to departure. Empty this waste regularly, at least once a day.
Listen carefully to specific requests from the clients and adjust your driving style accordingly.
10. Society

Limit the use of the vehicle’s horn to only the necessary situations.
Take whatever additional action is necessary to avoid disturbance to residents of the neighbourhoods you pass through.
