Esurance
Who doesn't love Esurance Erin? Not only does she help save the world from overpriced insurance, she also helps save us from ourselves. The business model of the company by itself lends Esurance to be a green company. Providing quality, low cost insurance directly to consumers online saves the company from having most of the overhead that causes many companies to waste and pollute. With paperless policies, direct payments online and advanced edocument storage Esurance produces just a fraction of the paper waste created by traditional insurance providers. Further, Esurance has dedicated itself to being a leader in eco-friendly business. Through scores of partnerships with environmental organizations, Esurance backs up its commitment to true green citizenship.
Some examples are:
- Planting thousands of trees across the nation.
- Replacing many of its claims fleet with hybrid vehicles to cut CO2 emissions in half
- Offsetting 100% of electricity use in its permanent office buildings via Carbonfund.org
Thanks to all these activities, Esurance has been recognized by several organizations as a leader in green practices. Awards include EarthCorps Spirit and Awareness Award and two Silver Halo awards for leadership in cause marketing.
