FinTrU continues ClimateCare partnership and doubles contribution to offset carbon emissions
TUESDAY 23 FEBRUARY 2021
FinTrU has extended its partnership with environmental and social impact company, ClimateCare. The partnership, which began in 2018, allows FinTrU to offset its carbon emissions and turn their climate responsibilities into positive outcomes.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, FinTrU has decided to double the financial contribution required to offset its carbon emissions during 2020. These include buying carbon credits to be offset through world-leading initiatives such as the clean cooking projects in Kenya and Ghana which aims to halve fuel bills for families and reduce exposure to toxic fumes.
Ross Gillespie, Executive Director - Technology and FinTrU ECO Committee Senior Sponsor, said "We believe passionately that the business community should have a steadfast commitment to ensuring that we operate as sustainably as possible. At FinTrU, we believe it is our duty to do what we can to invest in projects such as ClimateCare to allow us to fight climate change and be environmentally responsible in how we conduct our business."
ClimateCare is a profit with purpose business which works with forward-thinking organisations to help turn their climate responsibilities into positive outcomes. Since 1997, ClimateCare and its partners have cut over 35 million tonnes of CO₂ and improved quality of life for more than 37 million people around the world.
FinTrU uses environmentally friendly office stationery and the company's ECO Committee regularly holds internal initiatives and informative events to help educate the employees on environmental best practices.
