All production and purchases come with a carbon cost. You can choose to reduce your own emission footprint by offsetting your order at the checkout with CarbonClick, with units going towards selected projects that positively impact the environment.
How Carbon Offsetting Works
Offsetting is a way to compensate for carbon emissions. To do this, we support projects that positively impact the environment and reduce or avoid carbon emissions that would have otherwise contributed to climate change.
How Can You Contribute?
We have integrated a green button at our check out so that customers can offset their orders with us, connecting you to our journey.

Customers who include a carbon offset in their purchase, receive a confirmation email with a unique traceability link detailing where their contribution has gone. Our blended baskets mean 50% of contributions go to local project and 50% goes to projects local to our production, all having links to the makeup of our company.

Woodland Creation in the Lake District
Cumbria, England
-
The project is expected to sequester 41,664 tonnes of carbon over the 100-year project period.
-
Over 61 hectares of woodland will be created, with 122,383 trees being planted.
-
Mixed woodland, which will help local wildlife by linking existing blocks of estate forestry, creating a woodland corridor that joins the southern part of the property with important pasture woodlands.
-
This project will deliver flood mitigation benefits to the wider catchment.
Sustainable Development Goals
This project addresses 4 of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals:
United States
Anew-Doyon Native Community Forest Project
Alaska, US
-
This project is operated by Native Alaskans and sustainably manages and preserves up to 200,000 acres of forested lands.
-
Doyon Native Community Forest Project is located on 172,737 acres of boreal forest across Alaska’s Yukon-Koyukuk and Southeast Fairbanks boroughs.
-
The Project protects the local rivers from erosion and runoff that would occur if the forest were heavily harvested.
-
The initiative encompasses a portion of the largest unimpacted boreal forest in the world; critical habitat for many Alaska species.
