Sustainability Story

We have been Climate Neutral Certified since 2019 and a Certified B Corporation since 2016, meaning we belong to a global network of businesses benefitting people and the planet. Last year, we transformed our San Diego office space into a community event space available for individuals and organizations who are dedicated to bringing more purpose, positive impact, and meaningful conversation to the community. And this year, we are centering our PARALLAXPloration travel program around the theme Smallest Footprint, Biggest Impact to inspire ecologically friendly and socially responsible travel that leaves the places we explore better than we found them.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

01 Measure

thinkPARALLAX measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

GHG Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

5 tCO2e

124 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

210 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

339 tCO2e

02 Offset

thinkPARALLAX invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables thinkPARALLAX to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$4,577

Emissions Offset

Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

339 tCO2e

Lifetime Emissions Offsets

03 Reduce

thinkPARALLAX has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable thinkPARALLAX to emit fewer emissions in the future.

Mid Term Targets

thinkPARALLAX has committed to reducing emissions by .

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Mid Term Targets

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Reduction Actions

thinkPARALLAX is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from work-related flight travel.

How We'll Reduce It

We will make half of our in-person retreats optional, and locate all of them near our headquarters. We will also encourage low-emission travel for PARALLAXPloration through a Smallest Footprint, Biggest Impact competition.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from data storage and transfer.

How We'll Reduce It

We will clean up our Drive space and streamline workflows, which is expected to reduce the number of file duplicates (data) we store.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce employee commuting emissions.

How We'll Reduce It

We will allow remote work five days a week and potentially move to centralized co-working spaces in areas that are more than 5 miles from the office.

75%

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from business travel for conferences, events, and all-team meetings.
