How Habitus works with Carbonhound to report their emissions for B Corp with integrity
Previously, Habitus had worked with consultants to complete their GHG inventory but never felt confident that their emissions were accurate and they couldn’t consistently monitor month over month emissions. They wanted a solution that was economical, user-friendly and would generate a quick turn-around on their reports. After some consideration, Habitus decided Carbonhound was the best solution for their organization. Habitus now uses our platform to evaluate their emissions and most importantly to provide their 2023 & 2024 emissions to recertify their B Corp certification for 2025. As they look forward to the future, Habitus has begun to assess their carbon offset options for their projects through services and organizations that align with their values through our Carbonhound Platform. They are looking forward to investing in offset projects that support their objective to drive systems-level transformation in the areas of environmental and social justice. Habitus is an excellent example of a missions-based company that leads with integrity and creates a positive impact on the world.
