In partnership with Shopify, since January 2021 all our customers shipments are 100% carbon neutral. The single largest part of our carbon footprint used to be shipping/delivering our products to customers in the UK and worldwide. Now we are carbon neutral.
Firstly, let's say it up front - no carbon emissions are better than buying carbon offsets to cover whatever emissions a company has. We agree with this but that is a longer-term goal for us and whilst we and many other companies are working out how to achieve that, buying carbon offsets is a reasonable way to proceed.
We knew we needed to work with a carbon offset company that satisfied as many of our goals as possible, but first and foremost, we knew they needed to take a few key principles into consideration:
We used these criteria to evaluate many different companies doing good work. We’re still looking at a lot of them, but in the end, we chose Pachama to purchase our carbon offsets and we make our contributions to them on a monthly basis.
The Jara Pará Project is a forest conservation project. It reduces potential greenhouse gas emissions by protecting a large swath of forest (almost twice the size of Luxembourg) that otherwise would have been destroyed. It is a REDD+ project that is at the front lines of deforestation in the Amazon today trying to stop clear-cutting practices that are causing the loss of so much rainforest today.
We are investigating the proposals to grow more forests in Wales and, if we can, we would like to be part of any such plans.
Our company is located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Our ethos is defined in the three words, NATURAL TRADITIONAL HANDMADE.
We are a proud supporter of the Campaign for Wool, All Things Wales, Global Welsh and Red Dragon America.
