How Carbon Footprint Initiative Started: A Quick Background
The Carbon Footprint Initiative manifests Sourcefit's dedication to environmental and community well-being. Realizing the urgent need to address environmental sustainability, Sourcefit embarked on this journey with a clear vision: to understand and reduce their carbon footprint and galvanize the entire BPO sector in the Philippines towards this direction.
Furthermore, the company recognized that environmental consciousness isn't just about global change; it begins at home. They wanted to be the change they sought, underscoring the belief that even a single entity can make a monumental difference.
Sourcefit's proactive approach saw them develop a tailored Carbon Footprint Quiz. This wasn't an outsourced endeavor but an in-house creation, emphasizing Sourcefit's commitment to grasp the real impact and take genuine corrective measures.
