First, know that Cooler's team deeply believes that the most important thing at this stage of global warming is to take action. The world is on fire, and spending years and hundreds of thousands of dollars on measuring exact energy use up and down supply chains does not put out the fire.
Our bias is toward action: we estimate your carbon footprint, and give you a firehose to put out your part of the fire. Cooler Certified is a program designed to help businesses measure their carbon footprint and take meaningful action to combat climate change. If we all work together, we can reverse global warming.
By joining the Cooler Certified program, you not only offset your emissions but also contribute to a collective effort to purchase emissions permits in regulated, capped markets. These permits are the same ones required by major polluters, effectively limiting their ability to emit greenhouse gases.
How It Works
Measure
We start by automatically measuring your estimated carbon footprint with our science-backed automated carbon calculator. Over 75% of a business's emissions occur outside of your control (known as Scope 3 emissions), which makes it expensive and difficult to track and measure. Cooler developed an Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment (EIO-LCA) model to estimate your emissions, which is the most accurate way to measure your carbon footprint.
Neutralize
Once measured, we help you neutralize your emissions through our automated, tangible, measurable approach: by pooling the efforts of all our customers, we purchase emissions permits that reduce the overall allowable emissions in the capped markets. It's almost like having a lever you can pull to lower emissions at power plants.
Eliminate
After we purchase the emissions permits, we retire them so they can't be used, and give you the traceable permit identification numbers in service of transparency. And just like that, you've reduced carbon emissions!
Join us—and other Customers
Together, we can create a cleaner, more sustainable future. By joining Cooler Certified, you not only demonstrate your commitment to environmental responsibility and help lead the way in reducing global carbon emissions, you're joining a group of businesses pooling their resources to turn our drops into rivers and oceans of impact.
