Acala

We are committed to environmental and social responsibility in all aspects of our operations. We donate 5% of our profits to support the wonderful work of Friends of the Earth. Friends of the Earth are committed to beating plastic pollution. We have also carried out the test to understand our current carbon footprint. We used Climate Action Hub to... calculate our current carbon footprint. The test required us to input our current waste, our energy usage and the details of our deliveries and suppliers so the footprint of the whole supply chain can be calculated. Our current carbon footprint output per year stands at 14 tonnes of CO2. We would love to become a certified carbon neutral company but sadly the certification costs are just too high for us at the moment as a new business. So, for now, we are investing in carbon offsetting schemes that allow us to neutralise our 14 tonnes of CO2: We invest in the worlds first plastic neutral scheme. Not because we use plastic at Acala HQ or anywhere within our business but because we are keen to beat plastic pollution in anyway possible. We are teaming up with Carbon Footprint to support their programme to reduce deforestation in the Amazonian Rainforest and increase biodiversity in the the region. The Amazon is the largest remaining rainforest on our planet. It is known for its amazing biodiversity and is home to 10% of all species, including some endangered species that rely on it for their survival. It is an approved to CCB Standards Second Edition, Climate Adaptation & Biodiversity Gold Level programme. Our Zero Waste Business GoalsRead More
