Work in the green and digital transition: insights from case studies in Spain and Sweden

Author

Abstract

This report investigates the ‘twin transition’ at the workplace level, drawing on twelve case studies in Spain and Sweden across the energy, transport, and finance sectors. Findings reveal that the digital transition is a mature, efficiency-driven process, while the green transition is still incipient and largely policy-driven. The study confirms significant synergies, where digitalisation enables greening through improved coordination and virtualisation, and green objectives can drive digital adoption. However, negative effects such as increased administrative burdens and work intensification are also identified in some cases.
