In observance of Earth Week, Zauben, a prominent advocate of nature-based climate solutions, has joined forces with Upflex, a global leader in workspace solutions, to introduce an innovative initiative promoting environmentally friendly workspaces. This collaborative effort aims to provide complimentary plants to offices throughout the United States, enhancing greenery within work environments and contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions.
The Greener Workspace initiative goes beyond mere aesthetics, representing a significant stride toward minimizing our carbon footprint. “For every 50 coworking locations that participate in this initiative, we can mitigate up to 10,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. This is akin to eliminating 2,194 landscaping trucks from the roads each year through our vendor servicing program,” stated Zauben’s co-founder, Zach Smith.
“Sustainability has been a fundamental pillar of our mission at Upflex since day one,” remarked Christophe Garnier, CEO, and co-founder of Upflex. “Our expansive network of premium shared workspaces is designed to optimize existing spaces while rethinking workplace strategies to offset carbon emissions. Our collaboration with Zauben allows us to provide more workspaces with access to plants and green walls—a proven enhancer of workplace wellness—in a strategic manner that reduces environmental impact rather than exacerbating it.”
The advantages extend beyond environmental considerations. By incorporating more green elements into office environments, Zauben and Upflex aim to create healthier and more welcoming spaces for employees. Numerous studies and wellness surveys have consistently highlighted the positive effects of plants on health, wellbeing, air quality, and productivity.
Furthermore, this initiative reflects a commitment to social engagement and the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the plant technician community. “We’re not just adding plants; we’re nurturing communities and fostering a culture of inclusivity and wellbeing,” emphasized Smith.
In addition to its environmental and social benefits, participating locations can anticipate a minimum of 20% cost savings on existing contracts, highlighting the economic viability of this sustainable approach.
