If WeWork employees want a burger while on business, the money is coming
out of their own pockets.
The global workplace startup will no longer reimburse its staff for meals that contain red meat, pork or poultry and won't provide meat for events at its 400 locations, either — part of an effort to reduce its environmental footprint.

"New research indicates that avoiding meat is one of the biggest
things an individual can do to reduce their personal environmental impact, even
more than switching to a hybrid car," WeWork co-founder

The no-meat policy will also affect self-serve food kiosks at many of
WeWork's 400 locations worldwide.
WeWork boasts 6,000 employees worldwide. The
company estimates its no-meat policy will save 15,507,103 animals by
2023, , along with 68 billion liters of water.
