Going Green(er)
As you know, Segway is deeply committed to the environment and is always looking for new ways to becoming a greener company. We recently found a great new web tool and posted it on our corporate website today.
CO2Stats is a service that translates how much electricity is required to power the visitors to our website. By becoming a registered site, they monitor and offset the carbon footprint of our visitors by purchasing renewable energy credits at the end of each month.
According to the service, “The carbon footprint of air and automobile transportation is widely known, but few people are aware that the electricity generation required for information and communication technologies (ICT) is now responsible for 2% of global CO2 emissions, exceeding the emissions of the entire aviation industry. With CO2Stats it is for the first time possible to get precise emissions data on a site-by-site basis, enabling fine-grained ownership and management of environmental footprints at the experience level.”

Our Segway website now features the green CO2Stats certification badge which provides transparency to the emissions offset process with a Segway-specific certificate.
Pretty cool stuff, huh?
