Cycling Certifications for workplaces were awarded for the first time in Iceland in the Reykjavik City Hall on Tuesday, September 20th.
The certification is a way to effectively implement an improved cycling culture. Workplaces are encouraged to improve cycling facilities for both customers and employees, which hopefully leads to more people selecting environmentally friendly and healthy means of transportation in everyday life.

Workplaces are classified into three categories, gold, silver or bronze, depending on how „bicycle friendly“ they are. Four workplaces received certification this time, Vínbúðin received a gold certification and the others received silver awards.

Sigrún Ósk Sigurðardóttir, vice CEO of Vínbúðin and Sigurpáll Ingibergsson, quality manager, accepted the award.
