Guardian
Summary
Nutrition label

91% Informative

People who work from home all the time produce less than half the greenhouse gas emissions of office workers.

Hybrid workers did not reduce their emissions so dramatically.

IT and communications technology had a negligible impact on individuals’ work carbon footprints.

Remote workers’ non-commuting travel increased, with more driving and more flying.
