We’re at a pivotal point for global climate change and reducing our carbon footprint and carbon offsetting are key initiatives for our company. To show our dedication to this initiative we have signed the NetZero by 2030 pledge as part of our commitment to B Lab’s Declaration of a Climate Emergency.
As part of our commitment to a low carbon future we are working hard on the digital transformation of our business. This includes encouraging customers to use electronic versions of our products, reducing paper use and shipping. We also source electricity from renewable sources, limit travel to essential needs, and work to offset carbon where we can.
As part our support for the B Corp climate justice movement we are actively engaging in projects that address climate injustice, acknowledging that those areas and nations most negatively impacted by climate change are the least able to influence and change the impacts of the global crisis. We are actively seeking out verified carbon offsetting projects which support vulnerable communities to improve livelihoods and the local environment.
Our UK office volunteered to clear overgrown spaces to make communal gardens, participate in local litter pick-ups, and help a local charity with their wildlife garden.
