🌍 Club Leaf Climate Corner: Our Impact in 2021 and 2022
We want to have positive climate impact through what we do and how we operate. And we’re focused on more than climate action alone. Creating a better world is about working together, combining solutions, and taking action where it matters. It’s about halting biodiversity loss, improving livelihoods, and creating resilient food systems.
Without further ado, here are key metrics we’ll be keeping track of to measure our impact:
🚀 Tons of CO2e compensated
Our key impact indicator is the number of tons of CO2e we have compensated. The graph below shows how many tons CO2e we have compensated for and retired since Q4 2021. At the end of 2022 we retired a total of 4109 tons CO2e. For a full overview of retired credits visit our Club Leaf Public Impact Ledger.
🚀 Green Tips carried out by our community
To be able to escape the climate crisis, it is important that we limit global warming to 1.5˚C. Our Green Tips are created to help our community live a more sustainable lifestyle and help them transition to becoming eco friendly, planet loving individuals. We are excited to welcome you to our community of action takers and see more people going green and moving towards carbon neutrality.
Our Green Tips are divided along five categories: ‘At Home’, ‘Getting Around, ‘Travel’, ‘Food’, and ‘Shopping’. So far, our community has performed a total of 1507 Green Tips.
🚀 Number of Countries in operation
The climate crisis is global, and we want to make low impact lifestyles and carbon footprint reduction accessible across the globe. Our customer app is currently available in 7 countries: the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. On top of that, we’re also working with sustainable loyalty programs in 2 countries: the Netherlands and Brazil.
🚀 Calculating our own emissions
We’re committed to doing business in the most sustainable way. Whether that’s through the solutions we offer, the partners we decide to work with, or how we operate as a business. We’ve calculated our own greenhouse gas emissions. Just like you, we want to improve. We’ve set future targets and goals, and are working on our carbon footprint reductions as well as offsetting our carbon footprint through high impact climate projects.
In 2021, our total carbon footprint was 19.46 metric tons CO2e (19,459 kg CO2e). All our emissions were found in scope 3. This is due to the fact that we are primarily a remote working company and provide digital products & services. Any emissions relating to heating or office equipment are included in our remote working calculations in scope 3.
Writing this first impact report has been fun and a learning process for us and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. If you want to dive deeper into it, download the full report:
