Sustainability and ESG: How UpSlide Approaches Positive Change
How we Approach Positive Change
Operations
We’re working on reducing our emissions and collaborating with sustainably conscious suppliers.
Communities
We support charity and innovation projects focused on having a positive impact.
People
We strive to take care of the well-being of our employees and create an environment where they can thrive.
Pyramid's Sustainability Reports
UpSlide is part of Pyramid, a Group of three companies, including F31 and Institut des potentiels humains, sharing the same mission: helping people work better. Founded on the belief that companies should have a positive impact on the world around us, Pyramid has been working towards creating a more sustainable future every step of the way.
Making our Workplace More Sustainable
We believe every business should have a positive impact on the environment and we strive to continuously improve our environmental management practices.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint
We are committed to reducing each employee’s carbon footprint by 5% year-on-year and offsetting our remaining emissions.
Adopting Circular Economy Principles
We purchase computers with parts that can be replaced and repaired, extending their life cycle. We’re also working on improving our recycling rates with a new recycling system in our Paris office and company-wide awareness initiatives.
We’re proud to be a B Corporation, meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Giving Back to our Communities
We are committed to collaborating with organizations that strive to make the world a better place.
Supporting Charity Projects
We value our team’s community involvement, and we offer a volunteering day initiative to all of our employees.
Since 2022, we have supported several charity projects, including Green City Force in New York, Les Restos du Coeur in Paris, London Play Design in London, and Willing Hearts in Singapore.
Offering Discounts to NGOs and B Corps
Our Discount Levels for Clients with Positive Impact Projects (DISCO Project) offers a 15% discount to clients who hold a B Corp label, and a 30% discount to international non-profit and public organizations.
We built UpSlide from a desire to help people work better. But along the way, we discovered that we could also make people’s lives better and positively impact not only our employees but also our clients, communities and the environment around us.

Looking After our Employees
Our teams are the most essential part of our organization, and their well-being and happiness are a key priority.
Extended Parental Leave
We believe in equality for both parents while recognizing that childbirth’s physical and emotional impact is different for each person.
This is why we’ve implemented several measures to ensure our team members have the flexibility and time to care for their children.
Physical and Mental Health Support
We provide regular training sessions, offer a global wellness package to subsidize our teams’ health and fitness activities, and support a hybrid work model with a home office budget.
Professional Development
We offer our teams a personal development budget to help them develop and progress in their careers. All of our new joiners also benefit from internal training on effective communication and feedback.
Equality and Representation
Providing equal compensation and representation for all employees is one of our priorities. In March 2024, we scored 93/100 on the Egapro index, which assesses the gender representation balance of all French companies of over 50 employees.
The Next Steps in our Journey
Although we are pleased with our progress so far, what matters most to us is the journey. We remain humble, keep learning, and strive to improve every day to positively impact our people, clients, communities and the environment.
We will continue looking for different ways and initiatives to improve our positive impact and create durable prosperity for all.
