Bolingo ESG & Net-Zero

At Bolingo, our mission is to help founders and early-stage teams pitch, negotiate, and scale internationally in English—without costing the planet.
That’s why every hour of English learning on our platform is matched by an equal commitment to climate responsibility.

1. Our Core ESG Principles

  • Reduce first, offset what remains.
    We design our cloud infrastructure to use as little energy as possible—optimizing code, caching content, and selecting low-carbon data centers. Only the emissions we cannot eliminate are balanced with high-quality carbon credits.
  • Integrity over volume.
    We source third-party verified projects (e.g., renewable energy, nature-based removals) with proven additionality and permanence, not low-cost shortcuts.
  • Transparency and accountability.
    We publish key figures annually—server energy use, emissions factors, and retirement certificates—so that anyone can verify our net-zero claim.

2. Net-Zero in Practice

  • Complete server footprint coverage: 100% of Bolingo’s hosting and content-delivery energy is tracked and reported (Scope 2 and key Scope 3 cloud emissions).
  • High-quality carbon reduction & removal: We invest in a portfolio of renewable energy, reforestation, and emerging carbon-removal projects.
  • Annual true-up: Our credits are retired every year to guarantee that each learner session is carbon-neutral.

Impact snapshot:
• All server energy = net-zero
• Current target: 15% year-over-year efficiency gain per learner
• Credit mix goal: ≥ 50% durable carbon removals within 3 years

3. Governance & Social Responsibility

Bolingo’s ESG work is bigger than carbon:

  • Governance: We maintain strict data privacy and ethical AI policies, reviewed annually.
  • Social: We create inclusive opportunities for global learners and fair compensation for our teachers and partners.

4. What’s Next

Our roadmap includes:

  • Publishing a full annual carbon report with methodology and registry links
  • Partnering with more renewable-powered cloud regions
  • Exploring direct air capture and other next-generation removals
