Climate Commitment
Our Pledge
We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment. In addition to supporting environmental restoration projects, we are also participating with Shopify's Planet Program to further offset our carbon footprint.
Together, participating businesses have…
- Removed more than thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
- Provided carbon-neutral shipping for more than millions of orders
Here's how it works
For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.
Here are a few of the companies that are helping us meet our commitment
Running Tide
Running Tide centers their carbon removal projects around the restoration of ocean health. Their “…multi-pathway carbon removal system transfers excess carbon from the fast cycle in the upper ocean and safely moves it to the bottom of the ocean for long-term storage in the slow carbon cycle, while simultaneously combatting ocean acidification and warming.”

Heirloom Carbon Technologies
Heirloom's direct air capture technology focuses on restoring balance to our atmosphere by leveraging the natural power of limestone to remove 1 billion tons of C02 by 2035.
Remora Carbon Technologies
Remora captures CO₂ from semi-truck tailpipes as they drive, with the CO₂ destined for long-term storage.
