Answer:- The correct option is C. They support the strategy of corporate social responsibility by reducing an employee’s need to commute using a vehicle.

Telework arrangements that enable employees to work at home or remotely assist corporate social responsibility strategies in several important ways. Most importantly, they minimize the negative impact of commuting on environment by ensuring fewer car rides that an employee has to make in order to get a physical workplace. Telework allows the employees to get their job accomplished on a regular basis without having to commute every day for office work. As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gases emitted from vehicles, less traffic jams and reduced fuel consumption. Telework thus allows companies to achieve greener policies and contribute towards achieving sustainability goals. It also helps socially as when it gives employees more flexibility, better work-life balance and opens up the jobs to people with disabilities or caretakers. Telework therefore embodies and supports corporate social responsibility through its environmental, relational and governance favourable attributes (OECD, 2024). It is a very strong arrangement that companies can provide to all employees, no matter what position or role they occupy as part of the CSR values.
