The Benefits of Cooler Complete™

Cooler Complete is a comprehensive approach that enables clients to take high integrity action and brand themselves as part of the solution to global warming.

It's a Trusted Solution Backed by Leading Environmental Organizations.
The foundation for the analysis is Cooler's carbon calculation technology, which is based on economic input-output models and analysis developed at Carnegie-Mellon University, UC Berkeley, and at research institutions around the world. Since the approach is economy-wide, nothing is left out.

It's Cost Effective.
Program implementation is flexible and can be tailored to fit clients' business objectives and budgets. Clients can choose to focus on all the products or services they sell, or on a single product line. Since Cooler makes no profit on our offset sales, we can focus on driving carbon, and energy use, down.

It's Fast.
Within 30 days, clients can offer and market climate-neutral products or services within a category or across the company. Clients don't need to develop internal climate expertise or manage a complex and evolving program.

It's Easy.
Cooler has the expertise and does the work. Clients receive a comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions assessment, a report of the top contributors to their carbon footprint, a roadmap for emission reductions, access to the highest quality offsets, a review tailored to changes in companies' production or products, and a customized marketing kit for effectively communicating global warming strategy and actions to customers and stakeholders.

Our methodology and offsets adhere to strict guidelines set by the Cooler Technical Advisory Committee, currently composed of Environmental Defense, the Natural Resource Defense Council, the National Wildlife Federation, and The Gold Standard.
