According to a recent Gallup survey, organizations increasingly recognize mental health as a business imperative. The cost of untreated mental health conditions is estimated at $47.6 billion annually in productivity losses in the U.S. alone. As climate-related events become more frequent and severe—think wildfires, floods, and extreme heat—climate anxiety is likely to increase. Employers can’t prevent these events, but they can provide support systems that help employees manage emotional distress and feel empowered to make a difference. Our latest blog discusses the connections across #MentalHealth, #FinancialWellness, and #ClimateAnxiety in the Workplace ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e43q-Eja

Small changes, big savings: everyday electronics It’s easy to overlook the small stuff — but electronics and standby power quietly eat up more energy (and money) than you think. 🔌 💻 Upgrading to ENERGY STAR® devices, using smart power strips, and switching to efficient lighting can make a real dent in your carbon footprint. Scope Zero’s CSA gives employees the tools and funding to make these simple, high-impact changes. Small swaps. Big impact. #TechForGood #HomeEfficiency

Yes, your commute method can be a climate solution — and we’ll help you find (and fund) it. Scope Zero’s Carbon Savings Account® (CSA) lets employees use their benefit dollars to fund low-carbon commuting options that reduce emissions and fuel expenses. CSA-eligible transportation purchases include 🎫 Public transit passes 🚲 Commuter bikes 🛴 E-bikes and scooters 🚙 Electric vehicles 🔌 Home EV charging ports Whether you’re ready to ditch gas for good or add an e-bike to your transport quiver for short trips, the CSA makes it easier to act on your values without draining your savings. Plus, we layer in local government and utility incentives to surface rebates based on members' zip codes.  Commuting is one of the most habitual and impactful parts of our daily lives — and with the right tools, it’s one of the easiest areas to make more sustainable. #CSAinAction #CommuteSmart #SustainableTransportation #Electrify #ScopeZero

Rethink your commute. Pedal toward a low-carbon future. May is #NationalBikeMonth — and there’s never been a better time to rethink how we get from point A to B. Transportation is the largest source of emissions in the U.S., and the average commute alone generates nearly 4.6 metric tons of CO₂ per year for gas-powered car drivers. Swapping even a few weekly car trips for cycling or public transit can slash emissions, boost personal health, and cut transportation costs dramatically. Plus, research shows active commuters report higher levels of well-being and lower stress. At Scope Zero, we believe in climate action that fits into everyday life — and for many, that starts with the daily commute. Whether it’s biking to work or mixing in transit and walking, small shifts in how we move can lead to big changes in our environmental impact. #BikeMonth #LowCarbonCommute #TransportationEmissions #ClimateHealth #ScopeZero

We recently joined the team at Steelcase to host a personal sustainability and wellness session—one more way they’re living out their commitment to design better futures for the wellbeing of both people and the planet. With such a strong foundation in sustainability, inclusion, and resilience, Steelcase is proving that “Better Is Possible.” Our sessions meet employees where they are, offering simple but powerful tools for reducing environmental impact while also improving daily health and financial stability. Scope Zero partners with companies like Steelcase to deepen their impact in two key ways: 🧑🏫 Through live wellness sessions that spark individual action toward sustainability. 🌱 Through our Carbon Savings Account® (CSA)—an employee benefit that helps employees afford clean home and transportation solutions. Want to inspire your team with a sustainability wellness session? Or ready to bring the CSA into your organization? Let’s connect.

Last week, Lizzy Kolar had the pleasure of joining the Everlane team at their stunning HQ for a personal sustainability lunch-and-learn session—part of their ongoing commitment to “Cleaner Fashion” and a healthier planet. We dove into everyday changes and behavior shifts that empower employees to shrink their environmental footprint while boosting their physical and financial wellbeing. Everlane is already leading the charge with their three sustainability pillars—Keep Earth Clean, Keep Earth Cool, Do Right By People—and this session was all about extending those values into team members’ personal lives. When you give people the tools to take climate action at home, they show up with energy, purpose, and a drive to do better for the world around them. At Scope Zero, we help companies like Everlane lead from within. Want to host a personal sustainability wellness session for your team? Or curious about how the CSA can fit into your employee benefits strategy? Let’s connect.

In the U.S. alone, if every company that offers a 401(k) also offered a Carbon Savings Account® (CSA), we could unlock over $300 billion a year in utility and fuel savings. That’s the environmental equivalent of taking 125 million cars off the road. At Scope Zero, we built the CSA around a simple idea: corporate sustainability starts with personal action. When employees are given tools to reduce their energy use, they begin to see their role in a much larger climate solution. Climate needs all of us working towards a more sustainable future, and the CSA is one of the most powerful ways an organization can bring its people on board. And when companies make this kind of action easy and accessible, they create a ripple effect that drives engagement, lowers emissions, and strengthens culture from the inside out. As we wrap up Earth Month, let’s make sustainability something your employees can take action on and benefit from. Curious what kind of impact your company could make?

When companies offer purpose-driven benefits, the impact goes beyond the individual. Dominique enrolled in the Carbon Savings Account® (CSA) because it aligned with her personal values, giving her a way to take meaningful climate action. With her CSA, she purchased smart power strips to cut down on standby energy waste, saving hundreds of dollars a year and lowering her environmental footprint at home. But the impact didn’t stop there. She’s now applying what she learned at work — bringing efficiency and awareness into her workplace. The CSA helps companies reduce emissions while building culture, attracting purpose-driven talent, and lowering operational costs. ➡️ Read Dominique’s CSA story: https://lnkd.in/emJFApej

Feeling like you’re part of something bigger is at the core of a strong workplace culture. In our recent Earth Month webinar, Kate Sargent of KJS Consulting shared that purpose-driven employees aren’t just looking for a paycheck or a mission statement. They want to contribute beyond their day-to-day role while feeling connected to a larger purpose. Earth Month is a great time to reflect on how your company fosters that kind of connection year-round. Whether it’s green benefits, donation matching, or volunteer programs, these are the moments that remind employees: I’m part of something meaningful and we’re all in it together.
