Problem
Many companies struggle to accurately track and offset their carbon emissions resulting from employee commutes. Employees lack incentives to choose sustainable transportation options, and there is no easy way for them to be rewarded for reducing their carbon footprint.
Solution
Ecomilhas is a mobile application that incentivizes and rewards users for choosing sustainable commuting methods, such as walking, cycling, public transport, and electric vehicles. By tracking non-polluting travel via GPS check-ins, the app enables users to earn points, called "Ecomilhas," which can be redeemed for a variety of benefits, including gift cards and PIX transfers. The platform also assists companies in offsetting their CO2 emissions by purchasing verified sustainable travel data directly from users. Ecomilhas utilizes an AI-powered system to validate travel routes, calculate avoided CO2 emissions, and allocate corresponding points to user accounts.
