Double the Green: Serve Legal Increases Green Mileage Rate to 20p per Mile

Serve Legal is excited to announce an update to our green mileage initiative: from today, auditors will now receive 20p per mile for travelling to and from audits using environmentally friendly methods. That’s double the previous rate and a renewed commitment to supporting sustainable choices while rewarding our hardworking auditors.

What is Green Mileage?

Green mileage is a way to reward auditors who complete audits using low-impact forms of travel. Whether you walk, cycle, skateboard, or use a scooter, these journeys are eligible for green mileage. It’s our way of encouraging active, eco-friendly travel while recognising the effort it takes to get to each audit site without using a car.

Why the Increase?

This increase reflects Serve Legal’s broader mission to operate more sustainably and reduce the carbon footprint of our nationwide operations. As a business working across thousands of locations every week, encouraging more green travel contributes meaningfully to environmental progress. By doubling the reimbursement rate, we hope to make eco-friendly options even more appealing and accessible.

Benefits to Auditors

There are plenty of reasons to consider green travel for your audits:

  • Earn More: With the rate now doubled to 20p per mile, auditors can earn more by choosing sustainable transport options.
  • Health and Wellbeing: Walking, cycling and other forms of active travel are great for physical and mental health.
  • Simplicity and Freedom: In busy towns and cities, walking or cycling can often be quicker and more reliable than public transport or driving.
  • Rewarding Your Efforts: Green travel takes commitment – and this is a direct way to get more back for that effort.

Environmental Benefits

By reducing reliance on cars and fossil fuels, our auditors are helping cut down emissions and congestion in their communities. Small changes add up. Every green mile means cleaner air, fewer cars on the road, and a step toward a more sustainable future.

How to Claim Green Mileage

Auditors can claim green mileage via the usual mileage section at the end of each audit– just select the appropriate green travel option and enter the number of miles travelled. Make sure the milage you claim is accurate and honest so we can continue offering this benefit fairly to all.

A Win-Win for Auditors and the Planet

This change is part of a bigger picture: at Serve Legal, we want to champion responsible business practices, support our people, and do our part to look after the planet. By increasing the green mileage rate, we’re not just helping auditors earn more – we’re helping shape a more sustainable future together.
