In today's landscape, where the emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility continues to grow — and with very real and pressing targets to meet — it’s a consideration in every business decision, including in your choice of employee benefits provider. And at YuLife, we believe employee benefits provide an opportunity to take your whole workforce on that journey: engaging them in achieving your social and sustainability goals. “YuLife is on a mission to help people live a healthier and happier life, and in doing so, is creating a positive impact in the world: incentivizing employee contributions, time or even wellbeing activity to positively impact CSR and ESG objectives, and providing data to understand the impact of initiatives at an organizational level,” says co-founder and CPTO Josh Hart. “But we also recognize the importance of transparency and having the right partner values: and YuLife is a B Corp and Carbon Positive business."Here are 7 ways that YuLife brings sustainability and social responsibility into your employee benefits packages. 1. We get your people walking Your people’s modes of commuting are a consideration for your carbon impact, and with YuLife, members are incentivized to get walking — along with running, cycling, mindfulness, meditation and workouts — with real-life rewards from well-known shops and brands. Find out how the YuLife employee app works here.By encouraging employees towards lower-impact modes of transport, we’re both improving the health of your employees and if that translates to their work-related commuting, reducing your business’s overall carbon impact. 2. Carbon offsetting The YuCoin your team earns through mental and physical activities can be spent in many ways, like supporting social and environmental causes they feel passionate about — like planting trees for example.Your team’s contributions help support a major mangrove planting project in Madagascar, chosen because the trees sequester carbon at a rate that is 2-4x greater than mature tropical forests. The project has already planted more than 300 million trees, creating employment for the local community as well as creating a positive carbon impact. This means YuLife members are making a real and substantial difference to both the climate and the quality of people's lives. And this is all reportable for your business, with the total number of trees planted fed back to employers every month.3. Feeding the hungryYuLife is proud to support the fight against global hunger with ShareTheMeal, an organization that tackles global hunger through the UN World Food Programme.Whether it’s Ukraine, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kenya or more, YuLife members can exchange their YuCoin to buy meals and essential supplies for those fleeing conflict or in need. The meals donated by your employees are reported back to you on a monthly basis, providing valuable, anonymized data which can help your organization keep track of your employees’ philanthropic activities.4. Tackling ocean pollutionBig Blue Ocean Cleanup is an international ocean cleanup movement that is also available to your employees through the YuLife app. It helps to keep the oceans clean by providing plastic offsetting, establishing marine nature reserves, protecting vulnerable marine animals, providing free educational resources, researching ocean pollution for policy change and supporting the development of innovative technologies. Employees can redeem YuCoin to remove 100g, 500g or 1kg of plastic from the ocean — with every donation being reported back and driving positive change.5. Providing clean waterSome 703 million people lack basic access to clean and safe drinking water — spending hours every day walking to collect water for their families. Clean access to water means education, income and health — especially for women and children. charity: water is a YuLife partner with whom employees can spend their YuCoin. The nonprofit organization has already funded 138,003 projects worldwide, providing clean water to over 17.4 million people. With YuCoin earned through everyday wellness activities through the YuLife app, employees can donate 1 week, 5 weeks or 10 weeks of clean water to families in need. 6. Supercharging awareness of campaigns and eventsWe don’t just provide these means for your people to donate to worthy causes, the YuLife app also enables companies to build their own custom campaigns throughout the year.These partnerships exploit the typically high engagement with the YuLife app to help create buzz, via in-app campaigns and events aligned to companies' ESG initiatives, such as World Health Day and Earth Day.YuLife allows you to create a personalized wellbeing and ESG Hub for your organization. This provides an easy-to-access destination for all your ESG, CSR and employee benefits — and the high level of engagement with the YuLife app means your employees are far more likely to access those benefits.7. Measuring impactWith targets to meet, we understand the importance of measuring impact. Our partner companies can access powerful data and insights to quantify the impact of the YuCoin donated by their employees, offering marketing opportunities for small businesses.Businesses working with YuLife can also go through Earthly’s Climate Positive Business certification process — resulting in a carbon footprint report that can be used to enhance your reputation among current and future employees.About YuLifeYuLife is working to reimagine the insurance industry by protecting lives, rewarding living and inspiring life.
