Green
We're committed to stopping climate change, and we're starting with ourselves. Articulate has become a carbon-neutral organization. This means that we measure our climate impact, reduce what we can, and offset the rest by investing in projects that reduce greenhouse gases at the same rate that we produce them.
To do this, we've partnered with Carbonfund.org. They help us keep an eye on our environmental footprint, and through them we support renewable energy and reforestation projects.
