US: Synergy Global Housing has partnered with sustainability software company GreenFeet to track, measure, and reduce its carbon footprint to become carbon neutral by 2030.
GreenFeet provides people, companies and organisations with “easy-to-configure, accurate visibility into their CO2 emissions to assess options and, ultimately, change behaviours and reduce emissions quickly”.
“Sustainability isn’t a brand objective nor a check-the-box exercise at Synergy,” said Debra Christopher, president. “It’s a universal commitment inspired by passionate Synergy team members who care a great deal about being a part of an organisation that takes responsibility for its environmental impact.”
Lisa McKelvey, co-founder of GreenFeet, said:“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Synergy and help them align their carbon accounting standards to the greenhouse gas (GHG) protocol, widely considered the gold standard in the industry. Through our five-step process (measuring; setting and evaluating goals; reducing emissions; offsetting and reporting), Synergy is very well positioned to achieve Net Zero status with a comprehensive program to meet its sustainability goals.”
Stephen Hanton, president international at Synergy, said: “We recognise the need to update our sustainability policies and practices on a global scale to ensure we have the biggest impact possible while supporting our peers and the overall industry,” said “It’s culture. It’s behaviour. It’s passion. But most importantly, it’s necessary.”
