Introduction
Alchemy is proud to be a founding partner of Translink’s Better on Board Charter – a collaborative initiative encouraging people across Northern Ireland to choose greener, more sustainable transport. Launched in Derry~Londonderry and Belfast, the Charter brings together over 20 leading organisations representing more than 100,000 people, all working towards a shared goal: reducing emissions, easing congestion, and supporting a healthier, more connected society.
At Alchemy, we recognise our responsibility in shaping a sustainable future. Through our ESG commitments—including our focus on the environment—we continue to embed responsible practices into our everyday operations. From our BREEAM Excellent-certified headquarters to our Cycle to Work scheme, Electric Car Plan, and internal sustainability initiatives, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and giving our people the tools to do the same.
John Harkin, Founder & CEO of Alchemy, said:
“Alchemy is excited to join with Translink as a partner for their innovative Better on Board Charter. In addition to our Electric Car Plan, Cycle to Work scheme, and green office procedures, the Charter will help us promote greener transport options to our team and create an environmentally sustainable workplace that our people deserve. At Alchemy we want to create a better future and adopting an eco-friendly approach to travel is a crucial part of our vision for a sustainable future for Derry and beyond.”
Ian Campbell, Translink Director of Service Operations, said:
“Launching the Better on Board Charter in Derry~Londonderry is an important step forward as we continue our efforts to drive modal shift towards sustainable travel. The city has already demonstrated climate action leadership, with the operation of the fully zero-emission Foyle Metro fleet, and we are pleased to build on this momentum.?By working together with companies like Alchemy, we can make a real difference in reducing our emissions, enhancing air quality, and championing healthier and more active travel choices across the city.”
