Sustainability
Climate change threatens people, ecosystems, and communities around the world. We're doing our part to help stop it. Learn more
We commit to
Measuring (and sharing) our footprint meticulously and comprehensively every quarter
Neutralizing our emissions by funding projects that avoid and remove carbon
Taking the highest leverage steps to reduce our emissions
Segment has been carbon neutral since the beginning (2011)
We've funded projects to be carbon neutral since the beginning
7,919 tCO₂e total
Equivalent to the electricity consumption of 1,341 houses for a year
reduction from 2018
We’re taking action to reduce our carbon footprint ASAP.
With the goal of cutting carbon per employee by 20% in 2020. Here’s how we’ll get there:



We fund a portfolio of projects that prevent emissions equal to our current footprint.
We do constant research to stay up-to-date on the highest impact projects, and you can read our methodology here. We are currently funding the following portfolio:
Deforestation prevention
We are funding a project that preserves 98,000 hectares of rainforest in Peru.

Refrigerant destruction
We have funded the collection and destruction of Montreal Protocol banned refrigerants.

Nitrous oxide destruction
We have funded the capture and destruction of N₂O at a Mississippi industrial facility.

Our methodology
For every ton of greenhouse gases we emit, we fund a project that prevents an equivalent amount of emissions.
Carbon offsets are a complex market — there are thousands of projects of varying cost and quality. We work with Watershed to stay up to date on thousands of projects in order to identify ones with the maximum impact per dollar. In doing this review we look at five factors.
Required factors:- Additionality: That our funding is the direct cause of emissions prevention relative to a clear baseline scenario.
- Verifiability: That independent experts have verified the climate impact of the project.
- Permanence: That the climate impact of our funds is guaranteed today, regardless of how the project fares in the future.
- Compliance market tie-in: That access to the project trades in a compliance market, such as California cap-and-trade, so that our participation drives up prices for regulated polluters.
- Social benefits: That the project has social impact beyond its core climate benefit, such as positive impact on the local community.
