The European Union has set itself the ambition of being the first continent to achieve climate neutrality. The ambition is to fundamentally transform the economic system so that by 2050, Member States are carbon neutral, with an intermediate objective in 2030 of reducing EU greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % compared to their 1990 level. Such an objective will only be achievable if we all roll up our sleeves. Everyone, that also means HR managers and their departments.
What if the new ways of organizing work that are being put in place following the Covid-19 pandemic represented an opportunity to contribute to this ambition? This is the bet made by the partners of the NWoW4Net-Zero project, financed by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union. Three avenues were explored and made it possible to develop three toolboxes and training courses in order to deploy them in organizations. These toolboxes cover:
- New ways of organization and hybridization of work
- Work-related mobility
- Responsible use of digital technologies
On the occasion of an international conference organized in Brussels and with open (free) access, the partners of the NWoW4Net-Zero project invites you to raise awareness of your role as (D) HR in contributing to the objective of reduction of carbon emissions and to discover a series of tools and advice in these three areas.
