Employee commuting emissions refer to the carbon footprint generated by employees traveling between their homes and the workplace. While this category may represent only a small portion of a company’s overall emissions, it is important to include it for a complete and accurate carbon footprint assessment.

To estimate commuting emissions efficiently, follow these simple steps:

1. Enter the Total Number of Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs)

• This ensures that emissions are calculated based on the workforce size.

2. Select the Remote Work Policy

• Indicate whether employees work fully remote, hybrid, or on-site to adjust the commuting impact accordingly.

The system will then apply default emission factors based on typical commuting distances and transportation modes, ensuring a reliable estimate of employee commuting emissions.

• Regulatory Compliance – Some sustainability frameworks require reporting on employee commuting.

• Sustainability Goals – Helps identify opportunities for emission reductions, such as promoting remote work or sustainable commuting options.

• Comprehensive Carbon Accounting – Ensures that indirect emissions related to workforce mobility are accounted for.

By incorporating employee commuting into your emissions tracking, you gain a more holistic view of your organization’s environmental impact while simplifying data collection through a streamlined approach.
