CarbonClick

We are partnered with CarbonClick to help reduce our footprint on the planet.

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.

Who is CarbonClick?

Carbon Click are a New Zealand based company, born to make climate action simple and transparent for businesses and customers alike, supporting the planet and humanity through projects we all care so much about. CarbonClick works with projects that individually align with at least three Sustainable Development Goals and are protected for 50-100 years. This means the investment has a long-lasting effect on the environment and the communities they are located.

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.

Projects we Support Through CarbonClick:

All Countries Support

Anhuang Afforestation

Guizhou Province of China

Tree planting project is restoring land that have been significantly degraded due to desertification in the rocky mountain.
Planting indigenous trees like fir, cypress and pine will create new forests and restore the environment. Increasing biodiversity and resettlement of wildlife.
Villagers own the land and village committees are responsible for sustainable forest management.
60% of the farmers employed and trained are women.
45 percent of AS Colour production is done in China. Most of the factories we have used for many years.

Sustainable Development Goals

This project addresses 4 of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals:

New Zealand

Flax Hills Forever Forest

Kaikо̄ura, New Zealand

A 150 hectare area that has been retired from grazing and is being reverted to native forest.
Preserving this native forest improves the water quality of nearby rivers and coastal waters.
Natural regeneration will improve the habitat for local biodiversity to thrive.
Being a New Zealand owned and operated company it is important that we had a project local to our roots.

Lakemere Human-Induced-Regeneration

Bourke, New South Wales, Australia

The Lakemere human-induced project promotes the regeneration of over 15,000ha to natural woodlands and shrublands through improved land management.
Promotes the regeneration of over 5,000 hectares of acacia woodland and eucalypt forest.
Supporting the local ecosystem and creating habitat for native wildlife.
Reduced pressure on the land.

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.

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.

Sustainable Development Goals

This project addresses 6 of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals:

Europe

Altmark - Improved Forest management

Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

Turning an endangered monoculture forest into climate-resilient, biodiverse forests - a process called ‘forest adaptation’.
Transforming over 140 hectares made up of 75% pine and 13% larch dominated forest.
Strengthening biodiversity and improving water quality.
Avoiding and removing over 18,000 tons of CO2 emission over 30 years from the atmosphere.
