engage your greatest assets to tackle our biggest challenge
benefyd helps companies reach their sustainability goals by engaging employees in proven, measurable, carbon-reducing actions.
hands-on approach to authentic climate action
it’s not complicated, and it’s not offsets either. benefyd is a software solution that sets baselines, makes recommendations, and then supports every team member in making smart, sustainable improvements to their homes and in their lives. then all that good work gets rolled up into a nifty dashboard that shows your company is reducing carbon and investing in local infrastructure. here’s how it works.
Register
create your benefyd account with a simple online registration process.
Invite
invite all your employees to participate in benefyd by adding team members 1 by 1 or through a bulk import.
Baseline
every employee then completes a baseline assessment in their home which helps them understand where they can save money and reduce carbon in the categories of energy, water, transportation, and waste.
Action
employees get a list of carbon reducing actions along with DIY support, a curated marketplace, stacked market, government, and utility incentives, and integrated financing to make it easier to check things off the list.
Engagement
benefyd provides system generated encouragement to take action.
Report
benefyd tracks every action taken, energy savings and carbon reduction associated with these actions and provides near real-time dashboards and reports that your company can use for tracking and reporting progress.
