The pilot operator.
Tripping Cool didn’t follow a template — they helped build one. As GME’s pilot operator, every step from initial assessment to operational sustainability was co-designed, measured, and refined with continuous expert guidance.

The challenge
Tripping Cool committed to becoming a greener, more accessible operatorbefore there was a productized route to follow.
The standard path then — hire a consultant, get audited, file the paperwork — didn’t fit an operator that wanted sustainability woven into operations, not bolted on at audit time. They were ready to do the work; what they needed was a partner willing to build the methodology alongside them.
The work
The engagement unfolded across phases, each with hands-on guidance from GME’s expert team.
⚠ Borrador — el journey real (fechas, actividades y outcome por fase) lo documentan Ana y Litzy. Las fases abajo son la plantilla sugerida.
⚠ Pendiente Ana/Litzy: el proceso de assessment inicial y el baseline document/data que produjo.
⚠ Pendiente: creación del action plan + rollout de las primeras IACET training modules (equipo entrenado en X módulos).
⚠ Pendiente: datos empezando a fluir a Monitor, tasks ejecutándose, baseline de carbono establecido, evidencia acumulándose.
⚠ Pendiente: reviews trimestrales con expertos, course corrections — la metodología refinada con la experiencia real del operador.
We expected to learn what to measure. We didn’t expect to change how we ran the company.
The outcome
The receipts that make this a featured case — carbon reduction, staff trained, certifications, the cultural shift — are being documented with the operator.
⚠ Pendiente Ana + Litzy: métricas operacionales (carbono, agua, residuos, energía), equipo entrenado (IACET modules), certificaciones (GSTC / Carbon Neutral / B Corp), y el cambio cualitativo de cómo opera el equipo. Sin números reales no inventamos la grilla — entra cuando llegue la data y el case sube a featured.
