Carbon Positive Aspirations

At Lavender & Lemon, we're more than just a brand; we're a community united by a bold, climate-positive mission that extends far beyond our business practices. We donate a slice of our revenue to Ecologi, a pioneering platform on a mission to halve global CO2 emissions by 2040 and plant billions of trees each year. This partnership fuels gold-standard carbon offset projects and tree planting efforts both close to home in the UK and in the far reaches of the globe.

But our dedication doesn't stop with organisational efforts. Every person on the Lavender & Lemon team plays a pivotal role in our environmental journey which is why we offset everyone's carbon footprint—encompassing home, travel, hobbies, and food. Through verified projects, we embody our eco-conscious values in everything we do. Advocating for sustainable living and backing elite climate mitigation efforts are not just bullet points on our agenda; they are practices we live by daily.

Here are just a few of the projects we’ve supported via Ecologi

  • Restoring wildflowers, wetlands and wildlife in the UK

    97% of the UK's wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s. This project funds the restoration and conservation of 4 types of habitats: wildflower meadows, wetlands (including peatland restoration), heathland, and woodland. Tackling all these different habitat types together will result in landscapes being a mosaic of habitats that can support high levels of biodiversity.

  • Carbon removal through afforestation in sao paulo, brazil

    Afforestation, the strategic planting of trees on previously underutilized or mismanaged land, stands as a critical response to the ongoing degradation of our ecosystems and the persistent threat of deforestation. This project will sequester 19,380 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

  • Conserving the Amazon in Brazil

    As the largest tropical forest globally, the Brazilian Amazon Forest plays a crucial role as a primary carbon sink, contributing significantly to our fight against climate change. Unfortunately, deforestation, forest degradation, and shifts in land use, particularly in agriculture, have collectively contributed to 23% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions worldwide between 2007 and 2016. This project will prevent the emission of 8,378,697 tCO2e over 30 years

Planting for the Future

For each order, we plant a tree, ensuring it complements the local ecosystem. These trees are not counted to offset our carbon emissions but will remove carbon from the atmosphere over the course of their lifetime.

Our trusted partner, Eden Reforestation, not only bolsters global biodiversity but also uplifts communities by employing local individuals. 🌳

Google Cloud which runs on 100% renewable energy

Carbon Neutral Platform

As a digital platform, making sure our website is as environmentally friendly as possible is a key priority. Our website is built on Shopify. Shopify operates on Google Cloud which runs on 100% renewable energy. According to Shopify’s 2022 Climate Report, the company is carbon neutral and offsets all employee home office energy usage and business travel including transportation and accommodations energy. In June 2022, Shopify introduced the Planet app, which estimates merchants’ shipping emissions and allows them to make their shipments carbon-neutral by funding innovative companies that pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it.

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 via Shopify Planet. Together, participating businesses have removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere and provided carbon-neutral shipping for 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.

Here are some of the companies we support via Shopify Planet

  • Grassroots Carbon

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

  • Mast Reforestation

    Mast Reforestation combines proven forestry practices with new technology to regrow healthy, resilient, climate-adapted forests lost to wildfires. Mast’s services include seed collection, seedling cultivation, reforestation services, and financing based on high-quality carbon removal credits.

  • Remora is building a device that captures a semi-truck's carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe.The device will mount on the back of the truck, attach to its tailpipe, and filter the carbon emissions out of its exhaust. The driver will offload the captured, compressed CO2 while they refuel.
