DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cariloop, a comprehensive caregiver support platform that combines cloud-based tools and personalized, professional coaching services, is proud to announce it is officially Climate Neutral Certified. By measuring and offsetting last year’s greenhouse gas emissions and implementing reduction plans for future emissions, Cariloop has met the independent certification standard from Climate Neutral, a nonprofit organization working with brands and consumers to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.
“As a Public Benefit Corporation, we are committed to a triple-bottom line of people, planet and profits, and we strive to assess our environmental efforts to identify ways to lower our footprint and offset our emissions,” said Elizabeth Keeler, Impact Manager of Cariloop. “We are honored to join the growing movement of companies achieving Climate Neutral Certification, and we look forward to implementing our reduction plans to continue to showcase our commitment to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions in the years to come.”
Climate change negatively and exponentially impacts caregivers, particularly those who are caring for aging loved ones. Many caregivers are having to geographically uproot their aging loved ones because of climate change and the impact it is having on the planet. Moving an elderly adult can present challenges, particularly in creating a safe environment, accessing medications and addressing the emotional stress that comes from moving them from a place they may have been in for years. Therefore, as the population continues to age and the number of older adults in America is expected to double by 2060, Cariloop is doing its part to clean up its impact on the planet so it can better support caregivers and their loved ones.
“Climate Neutral Certified companies are demonstrating immediate action on climate change is possible and essential,” said Austin Whitman, CEO of Climate Neutral. “Climate Neutral Certified brands have built a powerful movement that gives companies and consumers meaningful ways to act on climate—today. They are leading the way, taking immediate voluntary action to address their carbon emissions, and engaging their consumers around this important issue like never before.”
Climate Neutral’s certification builds on internationally recognized standards for carbon measurement and neutrality. All certified brands must measure cradle-to-customer greenhouse gas emissions each year to maintain certification. Then, a brand must commit to reduction action plans to cut future emissions within a 12-24 month timeline, reporting progress on those plans annually. Finally, certified brands must invest in eligible-verified carbon credits to compensate for all of their emissions, directing investment into critical projects that remove and avoid emissions. The brand’s certification data is publicly available on Climate Neutral’s website, and the process is repeated annually when companies must recertify.
