About Cracking-Carbon

Our Mission

To transform the Irish economy into a global model for low emissions, green prosperity.

Cracking-Carbon delivers this vision through community and business engagement in tailored climate action initiatives aligned to Ireland’s 7% annual emissions reduction goal.

Beginnings

Established by Simon Ruddy in 2018, Cracking-Carbon develops clear pathways for businesses and organisations looking to incorporate sustainability into their everyday operations and activities.

“During my 20 year career in sales the importance of being able to communicate the sustainability credentials of the brands I represented was becoming an increasingly significant factor in securing deals.  More recently, this has evolved beyond simply talking sustainability, with buyers now looking to suppliers to demonstrate the actual quantifiable actions they are taking in order to reduce their carbon footprint, before deciding to buy from them.”

Organisations evaluating tenders and awarding contracts are currently allocating up to 40% of score to Responsible Business Practices
