Fiix's carbon footprint

Fiix is relentlessly committed to sustainability and part of that involves looking after our carbon footprint. For the past 5 years, we have measured and offset our scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, which is a fancy way of saying ALL OF IT.Typically, scope 3 accounts for majority of emissions, which is the case at Fiix (see air travel and data servers). So when you see climate goals and commitments from organizations, it’s important to ask about scope 3 — THAT is where the impact lies. Below is a chart highlighting the composition of our carbon footprint in 2019 and 2020 — and how our emissions have decreased for the first time in five years!! COVID’s restriction on travel had a positive impact on our footprint, which we are hoping to maintain moving forward. Needless to say, when you work with Fiix, you are working with a carbon neutral organization!

Fiixer Friday: Meet Isabel Jardine, Account Executive & Comedian 😜

This week, we're shining the spotlight on Isabel, Account Executive, who grew up in the US but has now acquired the Canadian “I’m sorry”.❓ What made you decide to work at Fiix? What has been the highlight or your most proud moment since starting at Fiix? ✨ I decided to work at Fiix because it aligned with my values personally and professionally. I love how much opportunity there is in the market for Fiix and the value this brings to our customers. The company being a B-corp was also amazing for me.❓ What motivates or drives you?✨  I am driven by the new world for women in the workplace. It wasn't too long ago when women were defined by their role at home or for the family. It limited the career options and pay we could get. We have a new generation of people now coming into the workplace and I believe the actions of everyone help create a world where gender/race doesn't matter. No one can do it alone so I gear my actions and career to help create that equality.❓ Tell us something fun t

This week, we're shining the spotlight on Lily Li, Account Executive, who cares about making a positive social impact and motivating other women in traditionally male-dominated fields. ❓ What made you decide to work at Fiix?✨ A combination of things: I wanted to be part of a rapid-growth company that would also have a positive social impact within the community that it serves.

Fiixer Friday: Meet Leo Tang, DevOps Engineer & Aspiring Dog Owner 🐶

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Leo Tang, DevOps Engineer. He is a give-me-a-coffee-in-the-morning-so-I-can-get-stuff-done person ☕️, that loves summer ☀ and longs to get a furry friend 🐶🦴, but will settle for the Fiix-dogs Slack channel for now (where Fiix employees share pictures of their best friends).❓ What was your "I need to work at Fiix" moment? ✨ I met the Fiix product team at an offsite event shortly before I started. I asked the question "Is a hotdog a sandwich?" 🌭 and a few of us got into a very lengthy well thought out debate on the topic. That was when I knew Fiix would be a great place to work. ❓ What do you love most about the work that you do?✨ Even though I have a very technical role, I like that there's a human aspect to it. How do I provide a solution that solves a problem but also has lower barrier to entry and ease of use.❓ What is something interesting that no one knows about you? ✨ I really enjoy hate-watching movies 🎥.

What does maintenance have to do with sustainability?

What does maintenance have to do with sustainability? A lot (they’re literal synonyms). But the bigger question is, why the heck should we care? Our Sustainability and Social Impact Manager @katie.allen explains it all down there and right here https://bit.ly/3q8GZw4 After you take a walk with Katie, why not jump over here and join our Sustainability group forum (click the blue “Join group” button to subscribe).In this group, we discuss the social, environmental and economic impact of maintenance practices. If you’re just starting to connect the dots of how maintenance contributes to sustainability and you have more questions than answers, this group is for you. If you have your own best practices to share, this group is also for you. Engage with your peers to ask questions, challenge your assumptions, and spark conversations about what sustainability means and how businesses can be a force for positive change.

He is the Lead Developer on Team Sirius and has been at Fiix since 2016!❓ What made you decide to work at Fiix?✨ A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn about a startup that built software for the maintenance domain. Fiix was a young company at the time and did not have much presence on LinkedIn but the idea of building a sustainable world by taking care of crippling infrastructure drew me to it. The tipping point for me to join Fiix was the final interview with co-founder, Daryl, where he shared the ambitious goal of building a cloud platform that will set the stage for modern day artificial intelligent maintenance software. We did not have an AI team then. Boy am I glad I made that decision!❓ Tell us something fun that you do in your spare time?✨ In my spare time I like to read, cook, hike, bike, play ball with Arya and I am also learning to play the ukulele 🚴‍♂️🎶.❓ What is are you doing for your mental health at this time?✨ En
