Commitment to the Climate and Sustainability
The core of our mission includes a love of our planet and concern for its future
Offsetting Our Carbon Footprint
Even though Chicory Wealth is an all-virtual company, we do have a carbon footprint. Each of our employees works in a home office, and those offices consume energy. We also travel to work-related events and meetings, provide events for our clients, and purchase supplies. While we do try to reduce our impact (check out our Green Home Office Policy), we feel strongly that we must reclaim the amount of carbon we do create. After first calculating the amount of carbon we’re producing each year, we work with Clearloop®, a Silicon Ranch Company, to help develop solar projects that over their lifetime will displace the equivalent amount of carbon from traditional electricity production.
Clearloop Solar Projects
Since 2023, Chicory Wealth has helped support two of Clearloop’s solar projects, the first one in Panola County, Mississippi, and the second one in Arcadia, Louisiana. The three Clearloop projects in Panola County total 18 million watts of new solar generation, collectively powering up to 3,000 homes locally every year for the next 40 years and helping to prevent 1 billion pounds of carbon from entering the atmosphere. Once fully operational, the Arcadia project will create 6.1 million watts of solar generation, prevent more than 460 million pounds of carbon from entering the atmosphere, and produce enough clean energy to power approximately 1000 homes. Both of these projects will help usher in clean energy jobs and spur economic investment in these regions that vitally need them. We are proud to partner with Clearloop to help bring these projects to life.
