Our Commitment to the Environment
As a conscious consumer, you likely look for products that are good for you and for the environment. Like organic produce, fair-trade coffee and energy-efficient light bulbs. Here's another easy, eco-friendly choice you can make: CREDO Mobile, the cell phone company fighting to protect the planet.
We are the only U.S. phone company that has donated over $10 million to groups like Greenpeace, Rainforest Action Network and Ocean Conservancy.
We're the only one that prints our bills with soy-based ink on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. We're the only one that plants 100 trees for every ton
of paper we use (enough to make another ton of paper). And we're the only one recognized for our commitment to a greener world by the prominent environmental
nonprofit Planning and Conservation League, which named us its Environmental Business of the Year in 2009.
We were the first mobile phone company in the U.S. to join Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree® program by offsetting the estimated lifetime electricity usage and shipping of phones.
We were also the first to offer solar-powered phone chargers. We offer refurbished phones to help keep cell phones out of landfills. And we're committed to phone recycling: along with every
handset, we include a prepaid shipping label from CollectiveGood, a leading phone recycler, to make it easy for our members to repurpose their old phones — keeping tens of thousands of cell
phones out of landfills.
We also make it easy for our members to speak out. Our member-driven CREDO Action lobby has pushed Congress to pass the first increase in fuel-economy standards in two decades, put a halt
to 63 coal-fired power plants and urged Congress to renew tax breaks for clean energy. Recently, the National Marine Fisheries Service approved stricter catch limits for our world's oceans
— a policy we championed for years.
And we're still working hard for many other vital environmental causes, like protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and strengthening the Endangered Species Act.
So if you have a preference for a company with deeply rooted environmental values, please consider CREDO Mobile. We're the only phone company as committed to the planet as you are.
