A Game Changer for offices who want to go Green!

New York, NY, USA – The Raw Office Inc. has launched an industry leading 100% Carbon neutral check out experience for office supply buyers. With over 52,000 office products cataloged for carbon emissions, Raw Office has launched the first ever office supply program to offset all emissions associated with the sale and delivery of offices products on its next generation B2B e-commerce platform. Jeff Golfman Founder of TRO says “We are excited to be able to offset the greenhouse gas emissions of all of the products that we are selling at zero cost to our customers.”



Raw Office has teamed up with New York-based Carbon Credit Capital to map all product emissions from raw material procurement, through manufacture, packaging, onward distribution and shipping of products to customers’ doorsteps. Reed Shapiro of Carbon Credit Capital states, “Raw Office is taking full responsibility for the impacts, not just of their own operations, but their suppliers and distributors as well. This type of full-cost accounting is groundbreaking in corporate responsibility. We’re excited to help The Raw Office lead the way for all companies-not just office suppliers.”

Each product available for purchase has been assigned a carbon footprint derived from primary Raw Office, distributor, supplier, and manufacturer data where available. The Raw Office will purchase carbon offsets from bio and landfill gas capture projects in both the US Northwest and China, where such projects are grid compatible, displacing coal and dirtier fossil fuels with biogas. Credits are procured through Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) in the US, and Umwelt-Projekt-Management GmbH in China.

The purchases of carbon credits through BEF will count towards The Raw Office’s 1% for the Planet certification, as BEF is a 1% for the Planet non-profit member. All three parties-Raw Office, Carbon Credit Capital, and Bonneville Environmental Foundation – are members of the environmental non-profit network, which drives financing for environmental non-profits through corporate giving of 1% of revenues annually. Heather Shrock of Bonneville says “BEF is thrilled to explore these amazing partnerships with our fellow 1% for the Planet organizations, working together towards the greater goal of reducing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.”
