\nCompany focuses on creating sustainable workplaces and home offices\u00a0for its global employee base

BOSTON, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LogMeIn<\/a>Inc.<\/a>, the work-from-anywhere company, is announcing a new global sustainability program designed to mitigate the company\u2019s operational impact on the environment.\u00a0\u00a0 LogMeIn\u2019s suite of products helps businesses stay connected in a rapidly changing world, and the sudden shift to remote work, necessitated by the pandemic, caused unprecedented spikes in LogMeIn\u2019s product usage around the globe. The environmental benefits of this shift were also significant. LogMeIn has examined this new work paradigm and expanded its sustainability programs in order to account for all employee work options: remote, office-based, or a combination of the two.<\/p>\n

When the pandemic hit, many organizations switched to remote work. Despite the uncertain times, there were key positive takeaways: emissions reductions and increased employee engagement. Fewer cars on the road and airplanes in the skies led to cleaner air and, often, happier and more productive employees. The perception of what is possible when it comes to working from home has changed, increasing the number of virtual meetings, redefining face-to-face interactions, and reducing travel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe initially started looking at our sustainability goals before anyone knew the massive impact the pandemic had on how, and where, we all work. What we quickly realized was that the acceleration in the remote work trend could have a very real and lasting positive impact on our environment and we are proud to be able to play a small role in enabling that shift,\u201d said Bill Wagner, President and CEO, LogMeIn. \u201cIn looking at our own sustainability practices as an organization, we wanted to not only rethink where and how we use office space, and to make those spaces as environmentally friendly as possible, but also apply those same goals and best practices to our employees\u2019 homes, where the majority of our workforce will be based moving forward. Our announcement today is the first step in bringing that vision of creating more sustainable places and practices for our people to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n

As LogMeIn moves to a remote<\/a>–<\/a>centric<\/a>work model<\/a>, the company is doubling down on its commitment to sustainability by announcing several new programs focused on both corporate and home office spaces and employee engagement:<\/p>\n
