OUR CARBON OFFSETS

The carbon offsets behind our Clothing Carbon Credits certificates and hangers are sourced from genuine projects that either capture emissions from the atmosphere or avoid emissions going into the atmosphere. We have chosen to support three projects, one in Australia, one in Borneo Indonesia and one in Brazil. These projects not only reduce carbon emissions but also help build a better world.

Since commencing in the second half of 2022, in our pilot phase, we have retired / surrendered carbon credit units which equate to:

30,000 kg of carbon emission offsets

We retire the carbon offset units we own in batches of 3000kg (3 tonne) to match the clothing carbon credits purchased by individuals and retailers. A list of units we have retired can be found here.

Australia - Flanders QLD

The Flanders Carbon Project is re-establishing native forest in the south west darling downs region of Queensland, which have been suppressed by agricultural uses such as grazing and by feral species. The project generates Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). In addition to generating carbon offsets, the project has the co-benefits of regeneration of native eco-systems and improvement in water quality in rivers and lakes.

Borneo Indonesia - Rimba Raya

The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project avoids planned deforestation of tropical rainforest in Borneo, Indonesia. The project creates a buffer zone along the eastern border of the adjacent world‐renowned Tanjung Puting National Park. The project generates Verified Carbon Units (VCUs). In addition to avoiding carbon emissions, the co-benefits of the project include:

– preserves the forest habitat supporting over 50 endangered species including the Borneo orangutan from disappearing

– maintains biodiversity which includes 361 bird, 122 mammal and 180 tree and woody plant species, many of which are highly threatened or endangered

– prevents the 14 local forest communities’ land being appropriated by palm oil companies, and

– provides local community development, local employment and provincial government infrastructure and support.

Brazil - Pacajai

The Pacajai REDD+ Project avoids and prevents unplanned deforestation in the state of Para, Brazil, avoiding emissions of over 9.5 million tCO2e across 40 years. The land is managed in the form of a “private reserve” by monitoring and operating a pre-designed plan which is adapted over time. The project generates Verified Carbon Units (VCUs). In addition to avoiding carbon emissions, the project has the following co-benefits:

– provides the first stage of land tenure processes to over 200 different households in the region

– provides a one on one course for agroforestry systems and on implementation of energy efficient cook stoves for cooking and cassava production to nearby villagers;

– protects endangered primates, the endangered Giant Otter, the Giant Anteater, Giant Armadillo, the Oncilla and many other the bird, amphibian and fish species.
