Sustainability Definition in our Business

Sustainability Definition

There are different versions of a sustainability definition, but the United Nations defines sustainability as follows;

Sustainability is the ability to maintain or preserve a certain level or rate of an activity over time, in a way that minimises harm to the environment, economy and social well-being. In environmental terms, it refers to "meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Sustainability encompasses a wide range of topics including climate change, resource depletion, and social equity.

Sustainability - Our Three Priority Aims

• Carbon Neutral Shipping

  
  Working with Shopify Planet, all our shipping emissions are automatically calculated and are reduced to ZERO with appropriate carbon offsets. Our contributions fund cutting-edge carbon removal projects that have the potential to reverse climate change.
  
  

• Sustainable Packaging

  
  All of our packaging, parcel boxes and protective materials are recyclable or biodegradable and are 99.9% PLASTIC FREE.

• Plastic Free Products - Plastic Freedom
  
  

  
  We believe that over 99.9% of our products do not contain any plastic at all. As a matter of policy, we do not offer plastic products for sale. Our packaging and our products are over 99.9% plastic free. We believe that we are close to "Plastic Freedom". 
   

Other Renewable Projects

Powered by Renewable Energy

All electricity consumed by FelinFach since 2020 is from 100% renewable energy, from UK windfarms - powered supplied by Scottish Power. Firstly, let's say it up front - no carbon emissions are better than buying carbon offsets to cover whatever emissions a company has. Going 100% renewable reduces our carbon emissions and also reduces our need to buy offsets.

Teaming with Tree Nation

In 2021, we partnered with Tree Nation to play our part in global reforestation. As a result, we plant one tree for every product purchased - five purchases in one order is five trees planted! Our forest, the FelinFach Forest, can be viewed here... click here...
