Brighter Planet

Carbon intelligence

About us

Brighter Planet delivers carbon information where and when it counts, speeding the transition toward a sustainable future.

We partner with a diverse range of organizations—large and small, for profit and non-profit—all united to support solutions to the climate crisis. We have a small, committed team, and are proud to have some of the nation's leading environmentalists on our Project Selection Committee, our Advisory Board, and our Board of Directors.

Brighter Planet recently was named Small Business of the Year by Treehugger.

Solutions for businesses

Our tools for industry, government, and academia efficiently turn existing data into actionable environmental insights.  Our suite of web services includes solutions for financial organizations, small businesses, and shipping and logistics providers.

Resources for developers

Our platform lets software developers build carbon intelligence into their own applications, querying our numerous open-source emissions models in real time to access reliable carbon metrics, or downloading energy and emissions data from our clearinghouse.

Tools for individuals

Hundreds of thousands of individuals use our innovative debit and credit cards to fund renewable energy with every purchase and our free carbon profiler to track their footprints.

Our corporate philanthropy commitment

Brighter Planet contributes a percentage of our revenue to the Project Fund, a program for which we recieved Financial Times's Social Innovation Award for Most Strategic Philanthropy. We have since built a new web application, Wowcrowd, that lets any organization, group, or individual start and endow their own similar fund.
