Problem

• Upon joining, Reddit didn't have a sustainability strategy and hadn't measured it's emissions (ever!)
• Reddit had no framework to evaluate models for potential bias

Solutions

• Built 1 year roadmap for executives to lay out clear action plans and potential cost to achieve different sustainability goals
• Collaborated with policy and engineers to create Reddit's first measurable bias metric 

Results

• Approval for Reddit's first carbon auditing
• Shipped first bias metric that is now widely available to all teams at Reddit 

Next steps

• Continue along climate roadmap to achieve sustainability goals
• Exec sign-off for use of the bias metric among all teams as a company wide guardrail or core metric
