Are the positive environmental impacts of teleworking enhanced by digital transformation?
Teleworking, catalyzed by digital transformation, offers huge environmental benefits for Canadian businesses. Thanks to digital tools, organizations can continue to operate efficiently while reducing their carbon footprint.
Reducing GHG emissions
With car travel responsible for 25% of Canada's GHG emissions, telecommuting directly reduces pollution. In 2020, emissions fell by 7%, largely thanks to the reduction in commuting.(Statistics Canada). The digital transformation sector is helping to make this transition even smoother, by giving companies the tools they need to operate remotely.
Less energy consumption
Empty offices consume much less energy. Digital transformation solutions, such as collaborative tools and the cloud, enable more efficient energy management, while also facilitating teleworking. For example, McKinsey reports that operational improvements can reduce energy consumption by 10-20%, by optimizing aspects such as energy management systems, process automation and the use of digital technologies results in significant savings.
Digital transformation as an ecological lever
The adoption of digital tools such as collaboration platforms, cloud ERP and remote management solutions offers direct benefits in terms of cost reduction and environmental impact.
Digital transformation is more than just a technological evolution - it's an opportunity to make your business more sustainable and efficient.
🌱 By adopting innovative practices such as teleworking and digital tools, you can combine performance with respect for the environment.
