2. Why Remote Work and Productivity Matter in SDGs


   
   Companies need software that can track and manage remote work effectively while ensuring that business practices align with their SDG commitments.
Remote work plays a significant role in advancing SDGs:
   • Environmental: Remote work reduces commuting, cutting down on carbon emissions and resource use.
   • Social: It promotes work-life balance, gender equality, and accessibility by allowing flexible working arrangements.
   • Governance: Companies must ensure transparency and efficiency in managing remote employees, which is where strong governance processes are crucial.
