What is carbon neutral?
A company can be called “carbon neutral” when it has net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This means that the business’s carbon emissions have been reduced to zero through a combination of in-house measures and external offset projects.
How have we become Carbon Neutral?
We have taken many steps to become officially carbon-neutral such as measuring our carbon footprint, reducing our emissions, and offsetting all remaining emissions. These important measures include:
1. Remote first working
The majority of our employees work remotely. This cuts the emissions normally caused by commuting and powering large offices.
2. Vegan friendly
We have ensured that 78% of our products are vegan, reducing our carbon footprint by lowering the need for animal products.
3. Fulfilment process
While we deliver to over 200 countries, we have warehouses in just six countries to reduce the emissions caused by powering these facilities.
4. Naturecan CBD
Our CBD at Naturecan is sourced from hemp, which is carbon negative. This process absorbs more CO2 than it releases during farming, reducing our carbon footprint.
Our Future Goals
By the end of 2023, we aim to:
- Use 100% carbon neutral delivery
- Make 85% of our products vegan
- Shift to plastic-free packaging
- Use regional suppliers & production facilities
- Get organic certification for all products
- Improve product recyclability
- Use regional raw materials where possible
- Acquire cruelty-free certification
- Streamline our production process
We will also continue to support our initiatives of planting a tree for every order, making monthly donations to World Land Trust, supporting carbon offset projects and partnering with CarbonClick.
