Our values in action
Ecological restoration
Growth milestones and peer-to-peer recognition are used to make an impact. We’ve planted coral and use Evergreen’s recognition program to plant trees to help restore our environment.
Clir hackathons
Hosting internal hackathons enables inter-departmental collaboration on employee-led projects. This helps foster innovation and communication within the company.
Mentorship program
We’ve developed an in-house mentorship program to facilitate a culture that is committed to the learning and development of our employees.
Working groups
Clir employees can choose to participate in I&D, mental wellness and sustainability teams to help form the company culture and strengthen our values.
Technology recycling
When possible, we rely on refurbished technology and equipment to power our work sustainably. We also recycle old technology to support communities in need.
Carbon offset
By optimizing wind and solar assets, we’re helping our community become more carbon neutral. To date, we’ve helped displace 181,953.20 tonnes of CO2.
