Philipp von Lamezan, Squake: helping the travel and transport industries become sustainable ✈🚢🌱

Philipp von Lamezan is the CEO and Co-Founder of Squake.

Travel and transport are responsible for 20% of emissions worldwide, with the global population growing, this footprint is only going to increase in the next decade unless we do something about it now.

Squake are advocating for short and long term change, by building a platform that makes sustainable travel and transport accessible to everyone. They do this by focusing on three main steps:

1. Working with businesses to accurately calculate emissions, so consumers can understand the impact of their travel decisions.

2. Reducing or avoiding emissions through alternative means or better modes of travel.

3. Compensating for any remaining emissions by investing in carbon projects.
