Measures that will conserve energy, both at work and in employees’ homes are being introduced by more and more organisations, the article says. Incentives to use public or self transport go a long way with more and more environmentally conscious employees.

Some employers – such as GreenCollar Group – are transforming their workplace into a sustainable environment, using recycled materials, plenty of plants and natural light, heating and cooling.
