Sustainability Policy

Purpose:

We are committed to environmental sustainability as a core part of how we do business. This policy outlines the key areas where we reduce our environmental impact, promote responsible practices, and support a healthier planet for future generations.



Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy

We aim to reduce energy consumption and transition to cleaner energy solutions by:

  • Leasing energy-efficient office spaces (e.g., buildings with Energy Star certification).
  • Purchasing only Energy Star-rated appliances and equipment for office use.
  • Relying 100% on cloud-based IT infrastructure to minimize on-site energy usage.


Water Conservation

We promote responsible water usage through practical and employee-driven efforts, including:

  • Replacing bottled water with filtered water dispensers.
  • Requiring all employees to use reusable water bottles.
  • Installing high-efficiency dishwashers in office kitchens.
  • Encouraging staff to report any water leaks or dripping taps immediately.
  • Ensuring 100% of office supplies purchased are recyclable.


Waste Reduction

We actively work to minimize waste and promote recycling through:

  • Fully digital onboarding, paystubs, and document storage systems.
  • Use of recycled office paper and remanufactured toner cartridges.
  • Recycling programs for paper, bottles, cans, batteries, and electronics.
  • Recycling 100% of printer toner cartridges.
  • Monitoring of office supply usage to ensure alignment with our waste reduction goals.


Toxics Reduction

To maintain a safe and healthy workplace, we:

  • Use only non-toxic office supplies and cleaning products (e.g., dish detergent, general cleaners, printer ink).
  • Incorporate indoor plants to naturally purify air and enhance the work environment.


Low-Emissions Transportation

We reduce travel-related emissions and encourage sustainable commuting by:

  • Supporting remote and hybrid work schedules for all employees.
  • Holding 100% of all-hands meetings virtually.
  • Reimbursing public transit use for hybrid employees.
  • Providing access to EV charging stations (e.g., 8 stations in the Boston office).
  • Requiring leadership approval for all business travel to ensure it is essential.
  • Prioritizing virtual meetings and video conferencing to reduce air and auto travel.


Responsible Sourcing

We choose vendors and products that align with our sustainability goals by:

  • Prioritizing recyclable and eco-friendly office supplies.
  • Supporting remote and virtual roles to reduce commuting emissions.
  • Providing virtual onboarding for all remote employees.
