Custom Footprint Calculator & Training
Client: Kansas City Chamber of Commerce
The Climate Protection Partnership is a voluntary program sponsored by the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce to encourage local businesses to measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. To this end, Cascadia customized the Seattle footprint calculator with relevant Kansas City-specific information related to transportation systems and energy sources. Cascadia staff trained over 50 member businesses to use the calculator to measure and interpret their emissions. Today there are over 200 participating Climate Protection Partners, including: American Airlines, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Deloitte & Touche, Hallmark Cards, and Microsoft.

Conducting an assessment of our environmental impact allowed us to more clearly define and share our progress with guests and employees, as well as to create benchmarks and strategies for the future. Working with Cascadia Consulting on our hotel footprint was an incredibly successful experience and we are planning to continue our work with them to explore the impact of additional areas of our operation.
