CLEAR Launches “Come Back Better” Initiative to Keep Our Communities Going

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As states and cities continue to announce vaccine requirements to protect public health, CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, is launching the “Come Back Better” initiative to help businesses and organizations safely keep going. This new initiative will help organizations of all sizes and across industries find the right digital vaccine solution to help protect the health and safety of their customers, employees and communities. Through CLEAR’s network of partnerships, the Come Back Better initiative will highlight small businesses, cultural institutions, neighborhood restaurants, and other organizations that make up the backbone of our communities and the work being done to help keep them safe and open during this time.

CLEAR’s digital vaccine solutions are being used by more than 130 organizations across the country and across industries to help create safer environments. As an arts and fashion touchstone returns to the runway this week, New York Fashion Week will welcome designers, buyers, models and fashion lovers with CLEAR’s digital vaccine solutions. CLEAR donated Health Pass access to the Council of Fashion Designers of America for their members, and over 25 designers will be using it at their runway shows.

“While we don’t know when this pandemic will finally end, we do know that we cannot again shut down large portions of our economy, shuttering businesses and keeping numbers of people squirreled away at home. That is why CLEAR developed these digital vaccine solutions – so that we can come back better, safer and seamlessly. We are so excited to be partnered with so many companies, sports teams, venues and groups – working together we will come back better,” said Caryn Seidman-Becker, CEO of CLEAR.

CLEAR makes it safe and easy to create a digital vaccine card for free so that consumers can access their favorite restaurants and events without worry. By partnering with OpenTable, CLEAR helps restaurants with their proof of vaccination requirements and streamlines entry for diners. And just as this no-cost solution helps out small businesses like restaurants, CLEAR helps keep our arts and culture experiences going, making it possible for Lincoln Center and the Public Theater to bring entertainment to countless New Yorkers. Whether it’s restaurants, the arts and culture, or helping fans attending Golden State Warriors games and other events at Chase Center in San Francisco, CLEAR’s solutions are helping organizations “Come Back Better.”
