While it sounds too good to be true, there may be a benefit that can help employers reduce their carbon footprint and save their employees’ money — and it comes in the form of a savings account.
Similar to HSAs and FSAs, carbon savings accounts allow employees and employers to contribute funds towards a specific purpose, such as upgrading cars, home appliances, heating and cooling systems to be more energy efficient, and over time, less costly. CSAs were created by software company Scope Zero, which partners with various green vendors to bring these upgrades to employees at a discount.
