Upside The Sustainability Actions

Funds sustainability work

Upside says it gives 1% of all revenue to sustainability initiatives linked to its business. On its impact page, the company says this money supports work in the areas where it operates. It also says this approach has helped it fund climate and food-related projects while its platform grows. The claim is self-reported, so it shows the company’s stated priorities, but it is not the same as an independent audit.

Offsets fuel-related emissions

Upside says it has offset 4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide linked to fuel purchases made through its platform. It explains that when users buy fuel with Upside, the company invests in projects that reduce emissions by the same amount. A carbon offset is a project meant to balance out emissions somewhere else. This is a climate action claim from the company itself, not an outside verification.

Rescues surplus food

Upside says it has helped rescue 4 million pounds of food. It describes this as diverting food that would otherwise be wasted and sending it to people in need through groups such as Food Rescue US and FoodRecovery.org. This is a waste-reduction and hunger-related action. The company presents it as part of its wider sustainability work.

Uses recycled materials

Good On You says The Upside uses some eco-friendly materials, including recycled materials. That means at least part of its product range includes materials made from recovered waste rather than new raw inputs. Good On You also notes that there is no evidence the brand has taken strong action on emissions, chemicals, or water use. This suggests some material progress, but limited public detail overall.
