Green 42

We’ve always been committed to—and successful at—reducing the amount of waste our company generates. However, we wanted to do more. To see just how much we could change for the better, we teamed up with TerraPass, a San Francisco–based company that offers products and services that offset the damaging effects of carbon emissions. With their help and guidance, we were able to contribute to clean energy platforms such as wind power, farm power (including dairy farm methane digesters), and landfill methane capture.

TerraPass helped us calculate our carbon footprint by measuring the amount of emissions that 42 was producing. Once we knew our footprint size, we were able to mitigate the harmful effects of our own carbon emissions by purchasing credits from TerraPass. In turn, TerraPass purchases carbon offsets on our behalf and helps fund carbon emission reductions.

By partnering with TerraPass, we have expanded on our commitment to the environment through carbon reduction. In 2010, we reduced 67 metric tons of CO2 and firmly established our company as carbon neutral. Since then we have only continued to strive for a smaller carbon footprint than the previous year. Protecting the environment is part of our business.
