The results of the study showed that there has been a decrease in the greenhouse gas emissions at the PLN office since the stipulation of the policy of Work From Office (WFO) & Work From Home (WFH).  The potential for reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission for correspondent mobilization by 40%, 10% reduction for power consumption and 8% reduction for vehicle mobilization.
