How can businesses reduce their carbon footprint?

This usually affects a few areas in the office that can really help with reducing CO2 emissions, such as recycling paper, plastic, and cardboard.
 
Reduce, reuse, recycle also includes reducing consumption where possible, such as using reusable food and drink containers, or refurbishing IT equipment so electronic and packaging waste is minimised.
 

Green Travel

Although investing in greener cars will help, public transport and car sharing schemes may further reduce your carbon footprint in Singapore and are also more cost-effective, which is an added bonus.
 

Hybrid Working

As COVID-19 has proven, many businesses can operate from home, whether that is full-time or as a hybrid between the office and home. This is a great way to reduce CO2 emissions in Singapore as it saves on energy, travel, and building emissions and decreases your business’s carbon footprint.
 

Educate Employees

Finally, it is just as important for your employees to understand why the business and their actions might be negatively affecting the environment. Your team might also have ideas and suggestions on how to make your office a more environmentally friendly space and reduce the business’s carbon footprint. It is through learning that we can do our best to be more sustainable and aid in minimising the environmental issues in Singapore.
