Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Inspire Clean Energy

We aim to obtain clean, renewable energy in a way that is impactful while still being accessible. That means continuing to find ways to offer clean energy options in proximity to our members, support the development of new and existing renewable generation, and move toward a carbon-free future. To date, Inspire members have helped avoid over 5.6 billion pounds of carbon emissions (CO2e) from entering the Earth’s atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the impact of 3+ million acres of U.S. forest preserved for one year (that’s 213x the size of Manhattan!). And guess what? We're carbon neutral! In 2021, we achieved our goal of becoming a carbon neutral business for our operational footprint. That means we measure our annual footprint, reduce where we can, and then offset the rest. Of course, we know that neutral is no longer enough—which is why we have lots in the works coming soon!

Environmental Sustainability

By using clean energy to help power the developing world, we can also eliminate the need for fossil fuels by supporting renewable energy and avoiding carbon emissions. We support clean energy created by the sun, wind, and water. All of our renewable energy sources are based in the U.S.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

We’ve teamed up with GivePower, a non-profit dedicated to providing clean energy solutions to those who have been disproportionately affected by climate change in the developing world. For every year that you are an Inspire member, we provide clean energy solutions to one person in critical need for one year. Our clean energy solutions support basic human needs – like clean drinking water – that people in these communities might not otherwise have access to. Over the next two years, we plan to donate over $500,000 to GivePower to extend our mission globally. We also offer mission immersions, where our team of epic climate activists travels alongside GivePower to install solar power in remote villages worldwide that lack electricity. To make a more local impact, we partner with local, charitable organizations to address the climate crisis happening in our backyard, whether it's through our employee resource group or our corporate impact.
