Tech Company Targets a 50% Reduction in Carbon Footprint by 2030
Chicago, IL—August 27, 2024: Delta Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing environmental challenges, has announced a strategic partnership with Disbelief, a leading technology firm in the video game industry. This collaboration follows a detailed analysis of Disbelief’s greenhouse gas emissions, with the company now committed to implementing clean energy solutions to achieve a 50% reduction in its carbon footprint by 2030.
“It’s an ambitious goal in only a few short years, but ultimately, we know it’s the right decision,” said Steve Ellmore, President and Co-founder of Disbelief. “Making this kind of commitment aligns with our values as a company and demonstrates our dedication to corporate responsibility.”
Since its inception, Disbelief has experienced significant growth, expanding its workforce and contributing to some of the gaming industry’s most popular titles, including Minecraft, the Borderlands series, and the Gears of War franchise. However, as the company has scaled, so has its carbon footprint. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions has become a critical focus for the company, driven by the expectations of its employees and clients.
Delta Institute, a leader in environmental consulting since 1998, will support Disbelief in this endeavor by providing expertise in sustainability planning and emissions reduction strategies. The nonprofit has a long history of partnering with a diverse range of organizations, from international media companies to local governments, to develop and implement comprehensive sustainability and climate action plans.
“Helping companies like Disbelief tackle complex environmental challenges is central to our mission,” explained Bill Schleizer, Chief Executive Officer of Delta Institute. “We are excited to partner with Disbelief and apply our expertise to help them achieve their ambitious sustainability goals.”
