How exactly does this work?
Calculation of our greenhouse gas emissions
Where possible, we avoid and reduce our CO2 emissions. Solar panel to power up general lighting, choose to use 100% post consumed plastic as raw material, minimize printing area etc
Carbon offset through a certified project
We offset all unavoidable CO2 emissions from the carbon neutral mailing bags by supporting a climate action project. As a result of this, the carbon neutral mailing bags are certified climate neutral. Climate action projects save CO2 emissions - for example, through reforestation or the replacement of harmful technologies with climate-friendly alternatives. More information about our climate protection project can be found at

The label "climate neutral"
We mark our carbon neutral mailing bags with the independent label "climate neutral", and consequently enable our customers to understand how the product has become climate neutral, and learn more about the climate action project. This label therefore provides our customers with full transparency regarding the climate neutrality of our products.
Our carbon offset project
To compensate for our CO2 emissions, we support a recognized climate action project certified according to international standards: Further information can be found at: Hydropower

Fantastic work on this informative piece! this detailed breakdown of the carbon footprint calculation and the thoughtful steps taken towards emission reduction and offsetting are both enlightening and inspiring, i don’t think many company taking steps to do that way, i haven’t seen even Asdas or Tesco’s have the same pledge. Partnering with ClimatePartner and focusing on transparency through the ‘climate neutral’ label are commendable actions. Kudos to you and your company for leading by example in sustainability!
