Upflex for the planet
Ready to cut 28,000 tons of carbon emissions this year alone? Here’s how we can help.
Our sustainability pledge
The built world is responsible for 40% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Building owners and tenants have a big responsibility — and a big opportunity — to move the dial in the right direction. At Upflex, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a driving motivator, and it’s at the core of everything we build.
Cutting commutes
We help companies lower CO2 emissions by giving people access to ideal workspace close to home, cutting car commutes.
Reducing waste
We help companies reduce emissions, utility usage and waste by empowering efficient use of existing workspace.
Planting trees
We support sustainable agriculture and carbon-offsetting reforestation through partnerships Trees for the Future.
Caring for our planet
Every year, employees spend 29.6 billion hours commuting to and from work. Eliminating or reducing commuter travel is the easiest and most effective way for a company or individual to reduce their carbon footprint — 51 million metric tons of carbon emissions could be saved yearly from workplace flexibility.
Competing for top talent
Nearly half of employees say they would take a pay cut to work for an environmentally conscious company. This opinion is most prevalent among millennial and gen Z talent — and by 2025, those groups will make up 75% of the workforce. Companies looking to attract top talent know they need to go green, and workplace flexibility is the most efficient way to do it.
Achieving sustainability through trees
If your company commits to helping plant 180,000 trees annually, you’ll be removing an estimated 28,770 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year. For a 3,000-employee company using Upflex, that’s as simple each employee making 5 bookings per month.
# of monthly bookings per employee | 1 | 5 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| # of Employees | 3,000 | 3,000 | 3,000 |
| Monthly trees planted | 1,500 | 7,500 | 15,000 |
| % of employees using Upflex | 50% | 50% | 50% |
| Annual trees Planted | 18,000 | 90,000 | 180,000 |
| Tons of CO2 sequestered annually | 2,876.95 | 14,384.77 | 28,769.54 |
Achieving sustainability by reducing commutes
76.3 percent of people are single-car commuters, and the average commute time is 36 minutes each way. By reducing this average commute by 50%, a company of 3,000 people can save over 11,000 days on the road.
