You can reduce this by reviewing your paper consumption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by identifying which departments or areas of your business use the most paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve done that, try to find ways to reduce paper usage. For example, you can use electronic communication tools to reduce the amount of paper that gets printed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also try to find ways to reduce the amount of paper your organisation uses in general by switching to more renewable sources, such as recycled paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"&quot;wp-block-heading&quot; wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Encourage_Employees_To_Work_Remotely\"><\/span><strong>Encourage Employees To Work Remotely<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a business leader, you can encourage your employees to work remotely. This can help you reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the number of people travelling to work every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people may argue that working remotely isn\u2019t as productive; however, a recent study has found that&nbsp;many people are more productive&nbsp;when they have the option to work from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re trying to make your business more sustainable, productivity isn\u2019t the only thing you should be focusing on.
