USA: GreenPrint provides carbon neutral transport to fuel marketers

SIGMA Members take 350 carbon neutral Uber rides and help GreenPrint hit 6 billion reduced emission miles.

During the SIGMA Annual Meeting in Chicago in November one attendee drove the 6 billionth mile offset by GreenPrint in 2017.   The company’s idea to offer carbon neutral Uber rides was welcomed and embraced by industry executives and leaders.

In partnership with SIGMA, and in coordination with Uber, GreenPrint provided Carbon Neutral Uber transportation to and from the SIGMA Annual and Legislative Meetings in 2016 and 2017. In addition to providing the transportation, GreenPrint calculated and offset the tailpipe carbon emissions of each ride. Just under 10,000 miles were driven, including GreenPrint’s milestone of 6 billion miles driven this year, and an impressive 762,000 pounds of carbon were sequestered from the atmosphere on behalf of SIGMA attendees.

“SIGMA is an important organization and we truly value our relationship with them. Over the last 4 years fuel retailers, marketers, and suppliers have embraced our reduced emission fuel programs as clients in order to build loyalty and goodwill with their customers,” said Pete Davis, CEO of GreenPrint.

Founded in 1958 as the Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America (SIGMA), SIGMA has become a fixture in the motor fuel marketing industry.
