Remote Work Carbon Footprint Logs

This dataset provides detailed logs of carbon emissions generated by remote work activities within SMEs and nonprofits, capturing device, network, and cloud service energy usage, as well as location and activity specifics. It enables organizations to measure and optimize their digital operations' environmental impact, support ESG reporting, and inform sustainable home office policies.
