        "summary": "Indonesia's Minister of Manpower has issued a circular recommending that private sector employees work from home once a week, aligned with civil servants but flexible on the day, to optimise energy use at workplaces. The policy ensures full pay, maintained productivity, and excludes essential sectors like health, energy, and finance, while leaving implementation details to individual companies. This measure promotes energy efficiency through wiser use of electricity, fuel, and operational policies, amid broader government efforts to conserve resources.",
