One of the greenest things a company can do is locate where people want to live. If people want to live in a city, there are companies there. Do the same for suburban and rural areas. I'm fortunate to have a software engineering position in a rural area, only 5 driving minutes away, with just one traffic light. The carbon foot print of myself and most coworkers is 20% or less than those who drive into the city, and probably still much less than public transport folks.
