We’re a carbon neutral company. We’re also Fair Trade and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified. We’re making responsible choices for people and the planet.
What Does This Actually Mean?
Carbon Neutral
We achieved carbon neutrality by reducing our carbon footprint to zero by implementing a number of efficiency measures in-house and supporting external emission reduction projects, like the Water Filtration and Improved Cookstoves project in Guatemala.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
We contribute to sustainable environmental practices. We’re FSC-certified, which is the only designation supported by environmental NGOs like Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Federation. FSC sets a benchmark for responsible forestry. This certification means that you can have confidence in the responsible origins of our products. Our FSC designation helps to protect our forests which in turn helps to protect our environment.
Fairtrade
In addition to our commitment to the planet, we’re also committed to people. Fairtrade is the most widely recognized and trusted ethical label across the globe and acts as the leading social and sustainable development mark. Our cotton products are Fairtrade-certified, which means that they meet rigorous international Fairtrade Standards, including better compensation and support for farmers and workers involved in the production process.
