Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Our product is designed to allow employees and employers to optimise their work life through hybrid working.

This has a double positive effect on climate change by eliminating commuting where it is not necessary and allowing employers to manage their spaces more efficiently. The environmental sustainability aspects of remote working and supporting a distributed workforce include reduced pollution and emissions from transport through decreased commuting to and from workplaces. Transport emissions, particularly private non-pooled car or ride sharing commutes, are a major contributor to climate change and reducing them is an easy way for an individual and a business to reduce their carbon footprint and Scope 3 emissions,
contributing to carbon neutrality and carbon emissions reductions strategies.

62% of office space is not utilised efficiently, even under normal circumstances. The data collected and presented through Kadence's service will allow understanding of employee productivity and optimisation of the main workplace, by turning off unneeded services or influencing reconfiguration of offices for a more climate friendly use.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

Societally, positive consequences will come from freeing time for employees enabled to effectively work from home, saving commute time. This facilitates work-life balance for employees while maintaining, and in many cases improving, productivity for businesses.
