Inspired by the March for Climate Change, GOLO® to commit at least $1 of every eco-delivery to buying carbon credits
26 September 2019 - 4:14AM
GOLO Mobile Inc. (TSXV: GOLO), the Montreal-based mobile on-demand
eco-delivery and pick-up platform that uses electric vehicles,
today announced a month-long commitment to supporting climate
change action. From September 27 through October 27, GOLO will
offer free delivery and contribute at least $1 from every delivery
purchase to buy carbon credits from The Gold Standard Organization.
The measure is in line with the company’s focus on sustainable
transport and transparency.
GOLO’s eco-delivery team in Montreal and Toronto
use electric vehicles, while runners and bike couriers in both
cities minimize carbon impact every day. GOLO is unique in the
on-demand delivery space because of its focus on minimizing the
carbon footprint of its users.
Inspired by Greta Thunberg, the March for
Climate Change, and its own corporate mission to make everyday life
easier, GOLO is committing to thirty days of free delivery plus the
purchase of carbon credits in order to help people form a habit of
finding simple ways to promote sustainability.
Jean-Francois Noel, CEO at GOLO Mobile Inc.,
said: “GOLO has advocated and used electric vehicles since 2018 and
sustainability is core to our mission. We believe that the impact
of the March can extend beyond one day, so we are committing to one
month for change. Buying carbon credits through The Gold Standard
organization helps fund sustainability projects the world over,
especially in domains concerning food and water.”
Sarah Leugers, Director of Communications at
Gold Standard concurs: “We all have a role to play in the fight
against climate change and it’s great to see organization’s such
as GOLO Mobile Inc commit to support climate action. Gold
Standard is known for impact – in climate mitigation and broader
sustainable development outcomes for local communities and
ecosystems. This means that every dollar GOLO Mobile Inc
spends in support of Gold Standard certified projects creates more
value for people around the world and the planet we share.”
Na’eem Adam, Marketing Director at GOLO Mobile
Inc, adds: “The objective is to show people how a small change in
their everyday behaviours can support sustainable practices. We
believe that inclusive capitalism is the logical progression of
industry. Eating sustains life but it comes with a cost to natural
resources and carbon emissions. We are just taking the necessary
step toward minimizing the environmental impact by giving back as
well as not adding to the problem.”
The launch of the initiative is just the latest
move for GOLO Mobile Inc. In September, the company signed a deal
to service Canderel Management Group Inc.’s Montreal properties.
Both Toronto and Montreal are served by runners, while Montreal has
the added aspect of a fleet of electric vehicles.
