Carbon offsets retired by ClimeCo reduce Summit’s carbon footprint
The carbon footprint of the 2016 Green Sports Alliance Summit will be minimized with help from ClimeCo Corporation, an advisor and trader of environmental commodity market products.
Working in conjunction with Bonneville Environmental Foundation, ClimeCo will retire carbon offsets that will help mitigate the emissions associated with attendee, speaker, sponsor and staff travel via plane and car. This is just one of the sustainability initiatives playing out at the event, which will also tackle water and electricity usage.
The annual Green Sports Alliance Summit is the world’s largest and most influential gathering for the sports community to unite around sustainability. The event brings together more than 700 industry stakeholders to learn and share better practices and the latest innovations in greening operations, advancing the supply chain, and engaging fans.
“ClimeCo, is happy to support the growing influence of the Green Sports Alliance Summit by retiring carbon offsets from a third-party verified, local Houston area greenhouse gas emission reduction project”, commented ClimeCo president and CEO, Bill Flederbach. “Voluntary environmental initiatives such as this not only promote the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, but also foster sustainable development within the local Houston community.”
ClimeCo’s diverse commodity portfolio includes a variety of project types, such as capture and destruction of methane emissions from agricultural operations, organic waste composting and the destruction of ozone‐depleting refrigerants, as well as the avoidance of emissions from Nitric Acid production.
