Title
Working from home – how important is the carbon footprint of your new workplace?
Abstract
Covid 19 has had an unprecedented effect on us and the scale of the effects have been catastrophic. Everything has been affected including our people, our economy and our environment. We will be talking about the issues centred around carbon footprint, why is it important to organisations? We will discuss how important it is to us as individuals who are working from home? Can our individual behaviours really make a difference to our carbon footprint? What can we do to keep our 'greenification' going? What strategies can organisations use to become more green conscious?
