Sustainability at Oakleaf
People
We provide products that are better for people, both in terms of health and sustainability. Brands we stock use natural ingredients and materials to ensure biodegradability and minimal toxicity. We endeavour to support small brands and communities working in harmony with the environment and always take into consideration social as well as environmental impact.
Planet
As well as sourcing eco-friendly products from responsible suppliers, our aim is to make your order entirely carbon-neutral from purchase through the lifetime useage of the product. To do this, we are reducing our environmental impact in a number of ways, addressing not only the shipping footprint, but also carbon emissions from internet usage and other sources.
Firstly, we calculate shipping emissions on every order and contribute to carbon removal and other environmental projects via the Shopify sustainability fund. The fund partners with 50 companies helping to reduce climate impact through projects from tree planting to air and ocean carbon capture and other innovative technologies. More details can be found on the Shopify website.
Secondly, we plant a tree with every order placed - maybe not an oak, but a tree nontheless - to ensure the protection of our planet long into the future.
Finally, you have the option to round up your order at checkout. The difference goes to Friends of The Earth, campaigning for greater awareness of climate change and to reduce environmental destruction.
