Environmental Impact
What we’re doing to limit our contribution to climate change.
The Crisis
Our planet is not in great shape.
We – humans – are the cause.
Overconsumption and a singular focus on economic growth have taken their toll on the environment.
If all humans lived as we do in the western world, the effect would be catastrophic.
This being so, anywhere.tools is constantly looking to do better.
Better means more sustainable, fairer, and more mindful of the example we set and the legacy we leave.
We recognise that there’s a long way to go but we are committed to the triple bottom line accounting framework:
- People – Celebrating everyone
- Planet – Reducing our footprint
- Profit – Operating a lasting business
Actions
We are an anywhere team: Our team doesn’t have to commute to an office.
The average American spends over 200 hours commuting each year. By changing our model so 340 employees work from home, we removed the need for 255 work travel days per person at an average of 32 miles a day—2.77 million commuting miles we don’t drive each year.
That’s 1,289 tons of carbon dioxide and other harmful chemicals kept out of the atmosphere, and over $445,000 saved in fuel costs. If you figure a vehicle lasts about 150,000 miles, that means we collectively save 18.5 vehicles every year.
