420,

You will actually burn more fuel by doing a flex take off compared to a TOGA take off. So your company is not doing it to save money, rather they are doing it to extend the engine life (wear and tear).

Our company policy is to perform Flex take off except the first flight on the first of every month, where it is mandatory to perform a TOGA take off.
