Earth Commitment

We clean up after ourselves.

Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we joined Shopify Planet to support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air.

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.

Let's meet a few of the companies removing carbon from the sky.

Grassroots Carbon helps ranchers modify land management practices to improve soil and ecological health, which captures and stores more carbon in soil.

“The world needs ambitious entrepreneurs like those at Grassroots Carbon to continue pushing the carbon removal frontier, and chart the course for those who will follow in what is shaping up to be humanity’s most important industry yet.” - Stacy Kauk - Director of Shopify’s Sustainability Fund.

Mast Reforestation

Mostly operating in all states west of Colorado, they have also done projects in Western Canada and run international trials in New Zealand and Australia.
