Summary

Over the past two years, a company expanded from a small team to over 400 employees, resulting in a significant increase in its carbon footprint due to extensive travel and energy use. To mitigate their environmental impact, they purchased carbon offsets and renewable energy credits from Terrapass, which supports projects like wind farms and anaerobic digesters. Calculating their carbon footprint involved gathering data from various sources such as travel bookings, car-share services, and electricity bills, and making estimates when data gaps existed. Using tools like the Terrapass carbon footprint calculator, they estimated their carbon emissions from flights and rideshares, which amounted to 1,383 metric tons and 33 metric tons of CO2e, respectively. To offset these emissions, they chose Terrapass for purchasing offsets and renewable energy credits and encouraged other businesses to strive for carbon neutrality by calculating and offsetting their emissions, utilizing resources like ClimateAction.tech for support.
