The Challenge

How might we seamlessly integrate environmental consciousness into the car purchasing experience, making CO2 offsetting accessible and emotionally compelling for CARS24 users?


Background & Context

About Climes: An organization dedicated to sustainable projects and environmental impact reduction through actionable solutions.

About CARS24: A leading automotive platform that facilitates car buying and selling experiences.

The Partnership: A strategic collaboration to promote environmental responsibility in the automotive sector by enabling users to offset their vehicle's carbon footprint through sustainable project contributions.


Problem Statement

Car purchases represent significant environmental decisions, yet users often lack awareness or easy pathways to offset their carbon impact. The challenge was to create a non-intrusive yet emotionally compelling integration that would:

  1. Educate users about their environmental impact
  2. Motivate action through emotional connection
