We clean up after ourselves
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air.
Together, participating businesses have…
- Removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
- Provided carbon-neutral shipping on more than ten million 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.
We are also committed to responsible sourcing practices to minimize our environmental impact, promote ethical working conditions, and support sustainable communities. This policy guides our purchasing decisions to ensure that our art products embody our values of social and environmental responsibility.
- Materials Selection: We prioritize the use of sustainable and environmentally friendly materials for our greeting cards and posters. This includes the use of recycled paper, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper, and other eco-friendly materials.
- Ethical suppliers: We only work with suppliers that share our ethical values. Our partners must respect decent work standards, provide safe and fair working conditions, and take steps to reduce their environmental impact.
- Local production: Where possible, we favor local production to reduce our carbon footprint and support local economies. We actively seek out local suppliers for every stage of the supply chain.
- Responsible packaging: We minimize the use of unnecessary packaging and favor recyclable or reused packaging materials. Our packaging is designed to minimize waste and effectively protect our products during transport.
- Continuous improvement: We are committed to regularly evaluating our procurement practices and to continuously seeking ways to improve our environmental and social impact.
By adopting this responsible sourcing policy, we believe we are not only making a positive contribution to the environment and society, but also reinforcing the artistic value and authenticity of the products we offer.
