Our climate commitment
Committed to a Cleaner Planet: How We're Reducing Our Carbon Footprint in E-Commerce
Clearing the Air: Our Environmental Mission
We take responsibility for our actions and make sure we leave things in order. However, e-commerce deliveries have a considerable environmental impact due to their carbon footprint. That's why we support innovative companies dedicated to removing carbon from the air.
Advances That Count: Our Environmental Achievements
Together, the companies participating in this initiative have achieved:
- Remove thousands of tons of carbon from our atmosphere.
- Offer carbon neutral shipping for more than ten million orders.
The Path to a Sustainable Future: Our Strategy
How does this environmental commitment work? Every time we receive an order, we use a special formula to calculate estimated shipping emissions. Based on these calculations, we allocate a portion of our income to companies specializing in carbon removal, previously evaluated by Carbon Direct scientists. These companies use these funds to offset the amount of carbon emitted by our shipments. Additionally, any surplus is invested in the continued development of carbon removal technologies.
Environmental Innovators: Meet the Leaders
Now, let's take a look at some of the companies that are leading this important work:
Heirloom : Its direct air capture technology improves the carbon mineralization process. Instead of using energy-intensive fans to extract air, Heirloom technology speeds up the process by which natural minerals capture CO₂.
Remora : This company captures CO₂ directly from the tailpipes of trucks while they are in motion, storing this gas for long-term storage.
Charm : Using plant waste, Charm captures CO₂ and converts it into a stable, carbon-rich liquid, which is stored safely underground, away from the reach of wildfires and soil erosion.
Join the Cause: A Cleaner Future Awaits Us
This commitment to sustainability and climate change mitigation demonstrates that businesses can make a positive difference in our world. It's time to join this cause and work together for a cleaner, healthier future for all.
