Sustainability is no longer a choice. Positive change starts with us.
We’re working towards becoming net positive, actively putting in processes to ensure we not only reduce our carbon footprint, but contribute to positively impacting the planet. Because we believe it’s our responsibility to protect it for future generations. As a Climate Positive Business, we choose to operate in a way that respects the environment. Working with infinitely recyclable materials for our packaging, sourcing ingredients through global community organizations for traceability, and continuing to offset our carbon emissions.

Our Packaging
We only use materials above industry standard. Currently, 95% of our packaging is infinitely recyclable. We’re working on the other 5% (which you can send back to us as part of our internal recycling program).

Product Boxes
30% post-consumer recycled paper is used to build our boxes. The surface isn’t smooth or shiny because we don’t laminate them - which means they can be easily recycled again.

It’s our responsibility to leave the planet in a better place for future generations.
We are a Climate Positive, plastic neutral business, with B Corp certification pending. In 2020 we emitted 258.44t Total CO₂e, 93% of which were Scope 3 indirect emissions caused by an increase in air freight. We are working to halve these emissions by 2022, and halve them again in 2023. We continue to work with service providers who are actively reducing their environmental impact and carbon footprint.

To tackle the impact of carbon dioxide on our atmosphere and the pending climate crisis, there is not a ‘one size fits all’ solution. So, we have committed to 3 regeneration projects.
Our Sustainable Ecosystem Plan
Our mission is to create a better planet for future generations. Here’s how we’re planning to do that.
