Outsourcing Impact Award on Community Building (Gold)
Carbon Footprint Initiative
Sourcefit, with its Carbon Footprint Initiative, is not just another outsourcing solutions provider; it's a harbinger of positive environmental change. While addressing the prevalent environmental concerns, this endeavor also stands as a testament to Sourcefit's unwavering commitment to the community.
In a world teetering on the precipice of environmental challenges, Sourcefit is making assertive strides in the right direction, showcasing a model that other businesses can emulate. The difference Sourcefit is creating goes beyond business metrics; it's about preserving the planet for future generations.
The Carbon Footprint Initiative manifests Sourcefit's dedication to environmental and community well-being. Realizing the urgent need to address environmental sustainability, Sourcefit embarked on this journey with a clear vision: to understand and reduce their carbon footprint and galvanize the entire BPO sector in the Philippines towards this direction.
Furthermore, the company recognized that environmental consciousness isn't just about global change; it begins at home. They wanted to be the change they sought, underscoring the belief that even a single entity can make a monumental difference.
Sourcefit's proactive approach saw them develop a tailored Carbon Footprint Quiz. This wasn't an outsourced endeavor but an in-house creation, emphasizing Sourcefit's commitment to grasp the real impact and take genuine corrective measures.
The impact of Sourcefit's Carbon Footprint Initiative is highlighted in these compelling statistics:
The accountability for this green transformation resides with the management, who sets the goals and policies, and the dedicated Sourcefit employees (the FitCrew), who implement these sustainable practices daily. They also owe a lot to the president of the company Andy Schachtel.
Beyond just numbers, Sourcefit's approach to sustainability focuses on real-world impacts. They don't just reduce carbon footprints; they change lives. Through partnerships and community outreach, Sourcefit has ensured their sustainability journey is inclusive, enveloping the larger community in their vision for a greener future.
The "Go Beyond" project vividly depicts Sourcefit’s tangible impacts.

This initiative underscores Sourcefit's commitment to reducing carbon footprints while uplifting local communities.
