Nachhaltigkeit
Wir räumen nach uns auf.
E-Commerce-Lieferungen hinterlassen einen CO2-Fußabdruck. Deshalb unterstützen wir Spitzenunternehmen, die Kohlenstoff aus der Luft entfernen.
Gemeinsam haben die teilnehmenden Unternehmen…
- Mehr als tausend Tonnen Kohlenstoff aus der Atmosphäre entfernt
- Bereitstellung eines CO2-neutralen Versands für über Millionen Bestellungen
Und so funktioniert es: Für jede Bestellung, die wir erhalten, wird eine Formel verwendet, um die geschätzten Versandemissionen zu berechnen. Auf Grundlage dieser Schätzungen geht ein Teil unseres Umsatzes an Unternehmen zur Kohlenstoffentfernung, die von Wissenschaftlern von Carbon Direct geprüft wurden. Diese Unternehmen verwenden dieses Geld, um die von unseren Sendungen freigesetzte Kohlenstoffmenge zu entfernen. Alle zusätzlichen Mittel fließen in die weitere Entwicklung von Technologien zur Kohlenstoffentfernung.
Lernen wir einige der Unternehmen kennen, die Kohlenstoff aus der Luft entfernen.
Laufende Flut
Running Tide ist ein weltweit tätiges Unternehmen im Bereich der Meeresgesundheit. Sie arbeiten daran, die Gesundheit und Produktivität der Ozeane wiederherzustellen, den Kohlenstoffkreislauf wieder ins Gleichgewicht zu bringen, globale Lieferketten zu dekarbonisieren und Küstengemeinden wiederzubeleben.
Erbstück
Die Direct-Air-Capture-Technologie von Heirloom verbessert den Prozess der Kohlenstoffmineralisierung. Die Technologie von Heirloom beschleunigt die Geschwindigkeit, mit der natürlich vorkommende Mineralien CO₂ binden, anstatt energieintensive Ventilatoren zum Ansaugen von Luft zu verwenden.
Schiffshalter
Remora fängt CO₂ aus den Auspuffrohren von Sattelschleppern während der Fahrt auf und speichert es langfristig.
Charme
Charm fängt CO₂ mithilfe von Pflanzenabfällen ein, wandelt es in eine stabile, kohlenstoffreiche Flüssigkeit um und lagert es sicher tief unter der Erde – außerhalb der Reichweite von Waldbränden und Bodenerosion.
Mastaufforstung
Mast ist das weltweit erste und einzige durchgängig technologieorientierte Wiederaufforstungsunternehmen.
Da jedes Jahr größere und heißere Brände mehr Waldland zerstören, haben viele Landbesitzer keine guten Möglichkeiten zur Wiederaufforstung. Mast Reforestation nutzt Technologie, um eine schnellere und widerstandsfähigere Wiederherstellung des Waldes zu ermöglichen, ohne dass dem Landbesitzer Kosten entstehen.

The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI)® is a global not-for-profit organization and the largest cotton sustainability programme in the world.
We work with manufacturers that are part of the Better Cotton Initiative®.
The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI)® exists to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment and better for cotton communities. It is the largest cotton sustainability program in the world and uses members fees to tackle labour challenges that often exist in the farming sector, aiding in the core vision of a world where all cotton farming is sustainable.
Better Cotton trains farmers to use water efficiently, care for soil health and natural habitats, reduce use of the most harmful chemicals and respect workers’ rights and wellbeing. Better Cotton is sourced via a chain of custody model called mass balance.
This means that Better Cotton is not physically traceable to end products, however, Better Cotton Farmers benefit from the demand for Better Cotton in equivalent volumes to those we ‘source.’
Better Cotton is an ever-evolving programme creating new targets for themselves and their members every year.
Better Cotton Initiative works with on-the-ground partners across the world to support cotton communities to build resilience and improve their livelihoods, with a big focus on women’s equality within the cotton farming community and in some cases gaining economic independence and or leadership roles.
Partnering with an organization that improve social, environmental and economic outcomes for the industry we are apart of is important ethos of ours. By choosing our cotton products, you’re supporting our investment in Better Cotton’s mission.
