At 24Slides, our journey toward sustainability doesn\u2019t end with awareness\u2014it follows up with action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a company that pledges to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, one of 24Slides’ goals is to positively impact the environment by promoting sustainable practices to combat climate change and help care for the ecosystems surrounding our communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, we celebrated Green Awareness Month<\/a>, tracking commuting habits in our offices, updating our waste management policies, and implementing green awareness courses to reaffirm our commitment to sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we wanted to take a more hands-on approach to environmental practices. Green Awareness Month lends us some very interesting insights into what concrete actions we can take to make a positive impact in the world and help us take our next steps towards becoming a greener and more environmentally friendly business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking what we learned from Green Awareness Month, we\u2019re now proud to present the Carbon Heroes Initiative!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Carbon Hero?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea for Carbon Heroes began with a simple, powerful insight: Of our team of 200+ people in Malang, Indonesia, 75% of colleagues commute to work on motorcycles\u2014alone. With such a high volume of solo trips, daily commutes emerged as a significant contributor to our local carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the perfect opportunity to make a positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carbon Hero Initiative was meant to encourage co-riding\u2014meaning sharing motorcycle trips to the office instead of solo rides, thus cutting down the CO\u2082 emissions and promoting environmentally friendly habits.
According to our research, a single tree absorbs an average of 10 to 40 kg of CO\u2082 per year. By encouraging just 20% of our colleagues to co-drive, we could cut down approximately 136.2 kg of CO2 emissions over three months.<\/strong> Through the Carbon Hero campaign, this co-riding initiative would reduce approximately 96.94 kg of carbon in just three months\u2014the equivalent of planting up to 10 large Oak trees.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-Riding in Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From February to April, employees from the Indonesian office of 24Slides were encouraged to share their rides in order to help reduce carbon emissions through concrete, simple actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motto? \u201cDrive Less and Be a Carbon Hero!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employees logged their trips using our team platform, registering their starting point and destination. Riding buddies would then coordinate pick-ups from common locations and share the trip to the office. To keep things fun and motivating, we also introduced Carbon Hero Awards: milestone rewards of free motorcycle wash vouchers and exclusive \u201c24CarbonHero\u201d stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through consistent communication, shared goals, and a fun outlook, employees joined the initiative and became part of the change towards more sustainable, environmentally friendly habits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
