CarbonClick.
We are partnered with CarbonClick to help reduce our footprint on the planet.
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.
The climate crisis poses a major challenge to all industries, especially the apparel industry. We take our responsibility to look after the planet very seriously, which is why we’ve committed to reducing our GHG emissions.
Part of this commitment is analysing a decarbonisation pathway for our supply chain in alignment with the 2021 UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, drawing on methodologies from the Science-Based Targets Initiative. This is really important as it means our targets to reduce GHG emissions are in line with the level of decarbonisation required to hold the increase in the global average temperature above pre-industrial temperatures.
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. Through this process, we will be able to gain a better understanding of offsetting integral parts of the business and calculating our footprint and solutions. This supports the work we are already doing on reducing our GHG emissions and enables you to contribute towards offsetting the carbon impact of their purchase, so you can shop carbon neutral.
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 reforestation and 50% to high impact clean energy projects. The projects we have chosen to support all have links to the makeup of our company.
Together we have
planted over 8,030 trees.
Our contribution will remove approx.
160,000 kg of carbon this year alone.
