Plus, they partner with insurance groups to offer auto, home, and travel insurance.

In this blog, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about Better World Club: their founding story, their sustainability initiatives, and why they’re a better alternative to traditional roadside assistance. 

About Better World Club

Better World Club (BWC) was founded in 2002 by Mitch Rofsky and Todd Silberman, two visionary entrepreneurs with a passion for environmental conservation and social justice. At the time, many environmentalists were reporting that large roadside assistance companies were lobbying with the oil and gas industries and against desperately needed environmental protections.

Frustrated by the lack of eco-friendly alternatives in the industry, they saw an opportunity to create a company that not only provided essential services to motorists but also championed sustainability.

At its core, Better World Club offers roadside assistance services similar to other major providers, including towing, lockout assistance, tire changes, and more. However, what sets them apart is a steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility. 

BWC Membership Benefits

BWC provides 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for cars and bikes in all 50 states and Canada – it doesn’t matter where you are, or what vehicle you’re in, Better World Club has its members covered.

Through various insurance partnerships, they also provide options for auto, home and travel insurance – saving you money and pushing the insurance industry towards environmental sustainability. Plus, when you purchase a policy through BWC partners, they work to help offset some of your greenhouse gas emissions. 

Aside from the satisfaction of supporting a socially responsible company, members of Better World Club enjoy a range of benefits tailored to their sustainable lifestyle and hundreds of thousands of discounts from participating brands.

Their holistic approach to transportation aligns with their mission to promote environmentally conscious choices in every aspect of travel.

Sustainability Initiatives

So, what really makes Better World Club different? They rely on third-party certifications, a unique business model, and partnership networks to provide the most value to their value-driven customers. 

Here’s a few of their main social and environmental initiatives: 

• Certified B Corp: like Karma Wallet, they meet rigorous social, environmental, and transparency standards through the B Corp Certification.
• 100% Carbon Neutral: from their office to their service vehicles, Better World Club is completely carbon neutral.They only purchase carbon offsets that are Gold Standard Certified – one of the highest standards for carbon offsets.
• Office Practices: BWC also uses post-consumer waste paper, eco-friendly ink, in-office recycling, and offers plastic membership cards made from 100% recycled content materials.
• A Rated from Better Business Bureau: the BBB has included Better World Club in their new BBB4Good Initiative, and given them an A rating.
• Electric Vehicle Discounts: if you invest in an electric or hybrid vehicle, you’ll receive an 10% discount on your membership fees.
• Associations: BWC belongs to associations including the American Sustainable Business Network and Business For America to aid in the movement towards a more sustainable future.

Plus, BWC routinely donates to carefully selected non-profit organizations across the globe, primarily through Environmental Partners of 1% for the Planet. Previous non-profit donations include replacing out-of-date oil-burning boilers for Portland Public Schools, donating a steam generator that runs on the waste heat from petroleum processing to a community in India, and much more!
