Frequently Asked Questions
What does carbon neutral mean?
In essence, ‘carbon neutral’ means the net carbon equivalent emissions of a product, business or individual are reduced to zero. For operations to be considered carbon neutral, action must be taken to measure, reduce and offset the carbon dioxide emitted.
Why go carbon neutral?
We accept the problem, we recognise the science, and we are doing everything we can to minimize our impact on global warming and climate change.
We believe that it is all our individual and collective responsibilities as humans, businesses and governments to act against global warming and climate change. We should never underestimate, on an individual level, how we can contribute to making change.
The mission to promote climate-smart lived environments and lead the way as a climate responsible company is at the core of our business. An important aspect of this is taking responsibility for our carbon footprint. This is why we have gone carbon neutral.
What is carbon offsetting?
Carbon offsetting involves supporting carbon-negative initiatives that neutralise greenhouse gas emissions from other actions to achieve net carbon neutrality. For example, for every tonne of CO2 emitted by an individual, carbon offsetting would ensure that there is one less tonne in the atmosphere.
Where do you get the carbon offset credits?
We work with Pangolin Associates who provide access to certified projects.
What are your goals as a company in relation to offsetting carbon emissions?
Our overarching goal is to reduce our climate footprint as much as possible, by examining every single step and seeing where we can improve both our practices and the practices of businesses that we partner with. Where we can’t reduce, we offset.
