Abstract: Remote-working arrangements could serve as an indirect traffic management control measure and can potentially be used as mitigative factors towards the improvement of urban air quality and against climate change. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire which included questions related to environmental health parameters, such as energy and water consumption, greenhouse gas vehicle emissions, and waste management. Structural Equation Modeling has been used for analysing the data and testing the initial hypotheses. The results suggest that modern firms are interested in improving their environmental performance, but they have knowledge gaps related to crucial environmental health parameters. Moreover, their environmental awareness affects employees’ electricity consumption and waste separation. There is also evidence that employees behave in a more sustainable way while being at their home. Even though this study finds evidence associating firms’ environmental profile with remote-working arrangements, no linkage between teleworking and energy saving was identified.
