ALL OUR PRODUCTS ARE CARBON NEUTRAL
Our organic products are outspoken in almost everything, especially when it comes to flavour. But when it comes to CO2, I AM Organic products are very neutral. And serious too, because the climate concerns us all. Whether you are a vegetable, a fruit or a human being. We do not need to tell you that CO2 emissions must be significantly reduced to prevent the climate from changing permanently and conditions from becoming more difficult or, even worse, unlivable.
We do have a
Teeny-tiny co2 footprint
At I AM Organic, we do everything possible to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible. But, we hear you thinking, you said you are carbon neutral, right? That’s right, but at the moment it is just impossible to get certain types of organic fruit and vegetables to you without emitting CO2. That is why I AM Organic has made deliberate choices aimed at emitting as little CO2 as possible. By working with small-scale, organic farmers. And by opting for sustainable transport. And by using as little (and if so then recyclable) packaging as possible.
CO2 NEUTRAL IT IS
The CO2 emissions that remain after that are our so-called footprint, and that is as small as possible. But it’s still not small enough. And not completely neutral. This cannot be done overnight; it requires several partners and much more investment. But we don’t want to wait for that. I AM Organic wants to make a difference today, by precisely identifying and fully offsetting our CO2 emissions. For example, we work together with the FairClimateFund. They invest in FairTrade certified projects where, for example, trees are planted instead of being cut down. In so doing, they offset our CO2 emissions, and our products are carbon neutral despite the small footprint.
Does it sound complicated? Want to know how the carbon footprint is calculated and how to compensate? You can see it in the following video.
