Starfleet Research has long been committed to environmental protection. Now we are doing so with the launch of three new market research surveys, the findings of which will inform upcoming research reports that focus on various aspects of hotel and resort technology. For each completed research survey, Starfleet Research will donate $5.00 to Ecologi, a nonprofit organization that partners with climate projects to offset carbon emissions. A qualified respondent who completes all three surveys will enable a donation of $15. To date, Starfleet Research has supported more than 50 climate projects and funded the planting of over 800 trees.
