Our Actions Working with Climate Smart, we did our first Greenhouse Gas inventory in 2010. 2022 marks the eighth year that we have measured our GhG emissions. This early measurement drove many initiatives and helped us complete the simplest opportunities to improve. Our long-time amenities and office practices include:
• Use of a carbon neutral courier for local deliveries.
• Indoor bike parking and staff showers.
• Robust recycling and composting program.
• Purchase offsets for corporate travel.
• Purchase offsets for Fairware managed shipping.
• Energy efficiency and sensor lighting.
• A hybrid/work from home policy.
• Plant 10 kelp per invoiced order with veritree.
• Organic and Fair-Trade coffee.
• End of Life policy for misprinted/old merch. • Purchase renewable energy credits for electricity.
• Reuse of shipping boxes.
> #HELPTHEKELP As part of our commitment to invest in local community impact initiatives, in January 2023 we partnered with veritree to plant 10 kelp for every order. veritree provides transparency and verification to the planting process through its dedicated data- driven restorative platform. veritree gives us the assurance that our restorative efforts are helping to revitalize ecosystems, strengthen communities, and mitigate climate change. Kelp forests support biodiversity, coastal fisheries and livelihoods and have the potential as a carbon sink. Globally, over 40 percent of kelp forests have declined over the past five decades due to climate change, over exploitation, and pollution. Through our partnership, we’re addressing this issue.
