Environmental objectives when working from home
What are the best environmental objectives for a software development company in COVID times, with everybody working from home?
Assign topic to the user
When thinking about environmental objectives I recommend two elements to frame them:
- The environmental policy (that sets priorities)
- The updated and classified list of environmental aspects and impacts
So, during COVID times, was the list of environmental aspects and impacts updated? And the classification also? Perhaps some significant aspects from the past are not so significant for the time being, and vice versa. Do any significant environmental aspects relate to supporting the work from home? I will not consider what happens inside each employee’s house to avoid intrusion or harassment charges. For example, considering the life cycle, is an environmental aspect emerging as relevant? How environmentally friendly are your internet suppliers, or your web storage suppliers?
First, chose the environmental aspects. Without that, it is artificial trying to come up with relevant environmental objectives.
