Corporate Climate Commitment: Carbon-Neutral Shipping
Corporate Climate Commitment: Carbon-Neutral Shipping
Every BABICLO Delivery Fights Climate Change
E-commerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. While we've minimized ours by shipping directly from Portugal to the UAE in consolidated batches, we know that's not enough. That's why we partner with cutting-edge companies that actively remove carbon from the atmosphere—not just offset it, but permanently remove it.
Our Carbon Removal Impact
Together with participating businesses worldwide, our carbon removal partners have:
- Removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
- Going beyond carbon neutrality to actively reverse climate damage
- Provided carbon-neutral shipping for millions of orders globally
- Making sustainable delivery the default, not the exception
How It Works: Transparency in Action
Step 1: Calculate - For every BABICLO order, we use a precise formula to calculate the estimated shipping emissions from our Portuguese facility to your door in the UAE.
Step 2: Invest - Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes directly to carbon removal companies vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct—an independent scientific authority on carbon removal.
Step 3: Remove: Those companies use our investment to remove the exact amount of carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds support the development of next-generation carbon removal technologies.
Step 4: Verify - We track and verify actual carbon removal, not vague "offsets" that may or may not happen.
Meet the Companies Removing Carbon from the Sky, True Allies in Corporate Climate Commitment
Grassroots Carbon: Healing Soil, Capturing Carbon
Grassroots Carbon partners with ranchers to transform land management practices that improve soil and ecological health. Healthier soil acts as a carbon sink, capturing and storing atmospheric CO₂ in the ground where it belongs.
How it works:
- Regenerative grazing practices that restore grassland ecosystems
- Scientific monitoring to verify carbon sequestration
- Long-term soil health that continues capturing carbon for decades
- Support for ranching communities practicing sustainable land stewardship
Why it matters: Soil can store more carbon than all the world's forests combined. By supporting ranchers who heal their land, Grassroots Carbon turns agriculture from a climate problem into a climate solution.
Mast Reforestation: Regrowing Climate-Resilient Forests
Mast Reforestation combines proven forestry practices with cutting-edge technology to regrow healthy, resilient, climate-adapted forests lost to wildfires. Their comprehensive approach ensures forests grow back stronger and capture more carbon.
Their services include:
- Seed collection: Gathering seeds from climate-resilient native species
- Seedling cultivation: Growing robust seedlings adapted to changing conditions
- Reforestation services: Professional replanting in wildfire-damaged areas
- Carbon credit financing: Funding through high-quality, verified carbon removal credits
Why it matters: Wildfires release massive amounts of stored carbon. By replanting with climate-adapted species, Mast Reforestation not only restores these carbon sinks but makes them more resilient to future fires.
Corporate Climate Commitment: Why Carbon Removal, Not Just Offsets?
Traditional carbon offsets often fund projects that might prevent future emissions—like protecting a forest that wasn't immediately threatened anyway.
Carbon removal actively pulls existing CO₂ out of the atmosphere through:
- Soil carbon sequestration (Grassroots Carbon)
- Forest regrowth (Mast Reforestation)
- Direct air capture technologies (in development)
- Enhanced mineral weathering
The BABICLO difference in Corporate Climate Commitment: We invest in verified carbon removal, measured in actual tonnes of CO₂ permanently sequestered, not theoretical future reductions.
Our Shipping Strategy: Reduce First, Remove What Remains
Step 1: Minimize Emissions (What We Control)
- Consolidated shipping from Portugal: We ship in batches to reduce individual package carbon footprints by 40-60% compared to single-item air freight.
- Lightweight, plastic-free packaging: Our compostable mailers and recycled cardboard boxes weigh less, reducing fuel consumption per delivery.
- Optimized routes: We work with logistics partners who consolidate UAE deliveries to minimize empty return trips.
Step 2: Remove Unavoidable Emissions (What We Can't Eliminate)
Even with optimization, shipping from Portugal to the UAE creates emissions. That's where our carbon removal investment comes in—removing more carbon than our deliveries create.
The Math Behind Your Carbon-Neutral Delivery
Example: BABICLO Bodysuit Shipped to Dubai
Estimated shipping emissions:
- Portugal to UAE freight: ~0.18 kg CO₂
- Last-mile delivery in Dubai: ~0.12 kg CO₂
- Packaging production: ~0.08 kg CO₂
- Total: ~0.38 kg CO₂ per order
Our carbon removal investment:
Payment to Grassroots Carbon / Mast Reforestation: Funds removal of 0.40+ kg CO₂
Net result: Climate positive delivery (Actual emissions vary by delivery location and order size. We calculate each order individually)
Transparency Behind Our Corporate Climate Commitment: Track Your Order's Climate Impact
Every BABICLO order confirmation includes:
- Estimated shipping emissions for your specific delivery
- Amount of carbon removal funded by your purchase
- Links to carbon removal project updates
- Verification from Carbon Direct
Because sustainability without accountability is just marketing.
