Daily commutes lower emissions but this can be offset if a WFH employee uses a lot of energy at home or when they do need to come into the office.

A study published this week reveals that there are small gains to be made as regards climate change mitigation practices when looking at work-from-home policies.

When COVID-19 forced us to stay at home and avoid other people a revolution in work took place. All of a sudden companies had to institutepolicies and make provisions to allow employees to keep the corporate wheels turning. The paper also reports that the more an employee works from home, the more their greenhouse gas emissions would increase, and if the office were to decarbonise its energy needs, that could make remote work more carbon intensive, erasing the gains made at the office.
