Annual parking fee of 40,000 yuan!Taiwan’s science and technology park employees, blockchain car sharing plan, carbon reduction and saving money
【 Published by CSR@CommonWealth】
Car sharing is not a new thing, but it is rare to have a free ride and a free parking space. The new venture “Green Hope” has launched the “enterprise Employees car sharing” program in collaboration with CECI Engineering Consultants, Inc.Taiwan. As long as the driving staff is willing to open other colleagues for free sharing, they can get the company’s free parking space. With a monthly rent of 3,500 yuan per parking space, you can save up to 42,000 yuan a year, which is equivalent to an alternative salary increase. The company’s parking space expenditure comes from the CSR budget. It not only completes the CSR actions of caring for employees and carbon reduction actions, but also accumulates research data on people’s carbon rights.
The reason why CECI Engineering Consultants, Inc.Taiwan. found Green Hope cooperation is that they are the information platform built with blockchain technology. Employees can use the exclusive APP to upload the shared record. The recorded information platform is combined with blockchain technology and CSR verification standard AA1000 methodology design, so that the entire data can be traced and cannot be tampered with. Not only the human resources and finance departments can use the platform information to quickly apply for subsidy application and issuance. In the future, when the third-party unit is required to conduct CSR results verification, it can obtain real and reliable data check directly from the back end of the platform, greatly improving the verification efficiency. And reduce costs.
This plan is not just a CSR project for a single company. Green Hope will continue to solve the painful spots of traffic congestion and carbon reduction in Neihu Park. The founder Lin Weixu said that large metropolitan areas or parks have obvious working areas, forming a fixed flow direction, and commuting time is a regular time, so that these flows become the same unit, which is very suitable for introducing the sharing mechanism. Their future goal is to promote the “car-sharing circle” of the same park and provide incentives for enterprises in the park to expand from a single company’s CSR program to a national movement.
Hotel plastic reduction platform, business trip, holiday can also be very greening
Green Hope will continue to work with the tourism industry to plan the “Hotel Plastic Reduction Platform”. Through this platform, people can save time searching for plastic hotels or green travel projects and complete bookings quickly. Behind the platform, the carbon reduction verification methodology provided by accountants is also introduced, and the blockchain technology is used for data recording.
When the passengers check out, they will receive the equivalent reward points according to how many spare parts are not used, for example: 30 yuan for each toothbrush and 20 yuan for each towel. When checking out, there are no two toothbrushes and two towels in the room. Earn 100 bonus points.
Unlike the way green hotels offer small discounts in the past, bonus points can be accumulated and can be discounted at any hotel on the platform. In this way, the discount rate can be felt more, and people can continue to choose green hotels. Reward points are recorded through blockchain technology and will not be increased or decreased at will, and they can be traded in the future. For the financial industry and hoteliers, not only strengthen the link between brand and green action, but also the hotel industry does not have to bear the loss of house prices immediately. The platform is currently in the experimental stage and is expected to be officially launched at the end of this year.
Blockchain makes carbon reduction information transparent and open, building the foundation of carbon trading
In fact, after the Paris agreement, the rules of “carbon trading” or “carbon tax” have gradually taken shape. According to World Bank statistics, 40 countries around the world are about to implement a “carbon pricing” system, actively introducing funds into the green economy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. As blockchain technology matures, it is easier to implement the carbon footprint of companies and individuals.
Lin Yixu pointed out that in the face of increasingly urgent carbon reduction issues, “social public” is also a key player. Do not hope that carbon rights and carbon trading are just the rules of the game that advanced countries and large enterprises can formulate. They believe that through the open and transparent information characteristics of the blockchain, they can construct a bottom-up, universal-wide data foundation platform for enterprises. Participate in carbon reduction activities with the public, generate substantial incentives, trigger behavioral changes, and create a cycle of mutual good.
Solve the people’s carbon reduction obstacles, and use the game and bonus to blow down the carbon reduction
The same is the blockchain to create carbon reduction incentives, as well as energy chain technology from mainland China. This newly-launched company, which was selected as the ninth place in the 2018 China Most investment value enterpriseTop 50 (Venture50), The carbon assets from the enterprise to the individual are the focus of their attention. In order to promote the carbon reduction behavior of the public, Energy Chain Technology found through investigation and research that there are three major reasons why people are reluctant to implement low-carbon behavior:
1.Low-carbon behavior lacks credible verification, how to confirm that this behavior is indeed effective in reducing carbon;
2.Low-carbon behavior lacks openness to the pipeline, making it difficult to gain more recognition or influence others to act together;
3.To implement low-carbon behavior, we must endure the inconvenience of more life, but there is no substantial feedback.
The Decentralized of the blockchain and the traceability of the entire information process can solve these obstacles and provide a credible and testable platform for the public. Energy Chain Technology uses blockchain technology to cooperate with the government to sign a strategic agreement with the Shenzhen Emissions Exchange in 2018 to jointly define a green quantitative standard, Green Credit (GC), with 1GC=1kg CO2 emission reductions. Encourage people to adopt a low-carbon life action to accumulate the GC used to exchange goods, creating a positive incentive for consumers.
People can download the “Green Devil” DApp (Decentralization App decentralization application, combined with blockchain technology, store transaction data, transaction assets), you can record your individual green low carbon behavior, such as the use of shared bicycles, mass transit Water conservation, office work in green buildings, use of low-carbon products, and the use of electronic coupons and other food and clothing to carry out recreational activities can be recorded.
These data will automatically convert the corresponding carbon emission reductions to get the corresponding GC. GC can be applied to the game of “Magic Green” to become the energy for planting trees and completing tasks; or to exchange coffee, movie coupons and other merchant services. Encourage people to transform their green lifestyle through online games and offline merchants’ offers.
Debra Roberts, chairman of the second panel of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an authoritative climate science organization, stressed that：
“1.5 °C is not impossible, but it depends on everyone cooperation in the society and between organizations. “
“People may not be able to decide how to use the land and what to plant, but they can decide what they want or don’t want on their table.”
Greenpeace Global CEO Jennifer Morgan also called on everyone to make a difference from their lifestyle choices. “The money you spend is very important!” Morgan said. Nowadays, carbon reduction is not just for the concept of environmental protection, but also to help you earn dividends. Join this action right now!
