But what is the environmental impact of this shift? Now that many businesses are taking serious action on cutting carbon and becoming more sustainable in their own operations, it has become necessary to consider whether greater levels of homeworking could be a carbon boon or a burden.
This paper aims to explore some of these issues and help business leaders consider whether a shift to homeworking could provide benefits for both their organisation and for the wider environment. This includes not only examining how to maximise the sustainability benefits, but also how to overcome other barriers to adoption, such as perceived impacts on productivity.
