Flexible Working Practices

Given the correct support, employees can work from home, reducing the need for face-to-face meetings with clients and customers - cutting business travel as well as office space requirements.

Technological alternatives to travel

Implement technological alternatives to travel such as web conferencing,  video conferencing or teleconferencing.  This can help to reduce your business overheads too.
