Encouraging Green Telework examines the potential environmental benefits of teleworking.

Telework - working at home or on the move using networked computers - is on the increase in the UK. Over two million of us did it in 2002, twice the number in 1997. But we are still a long way behind countries like Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands where up to 17 per cent of the workforce teleworks.

This is a missed opportunity for the UK. Sixty per cent of UK workers are interested in teleworking. It helps with work-life balance, especially for workers with young families, and improves quality of life. For companies, it improves staff satisfaction, improves productivity and can reduce operating costs.
