What we care about
We've grown a lot since 2015. Along with all this growth, our impact on the planet and on all our shareholders has grown too. We’re taking action to reduce our impact while leading the way toward a more sustainable future.

Planet
Since 2020, we analyze our Carbon emissions. We partner with Sweep to build our analysis.
Since we want to have a Neutral impact, we offset 100% of our carbon emissions.
That includes emissions created from building our product and storing our data, employee commuting, business travel, and utility bills.
We are committed to reducing and offsetting our carbon footprint each year.

Reviewing our traveling policy
As a distributed team we travel to meet each other on a regular basis. Remote team members had the opportunity to travel once a quarter to meet their colleagues. In 2022, we’ve updated this policy to twice a year to limit our carbon emissions.

Here are some examples of our other small wins, that help us reduce our impact every day.
We're a paperless company
Since the beginning! We don’t have printers in our hubs. And we don’t use paper except when we have no choice for administrative purposes.
Better offices
To address the carbon emissions and waste we produce in our 6 hubs, we have implemented the following to reduce our carbon footprint and divert waste from our local landfill:
- Implement temperature limitations for the offices: each office has a minimum and maximum setup.
- Sparkling water fountains: we don’t want cans and plastic bottles
Refurbished IT devices
We avoid as much as we can to buy new devices. We provide only refurbished laptops to our new hires. We’ve also built recommendations for devices at home to encourage people buy what has the lowest carbon impact.
