Green E-Commerce Fulfilment Begins Here

In 2023, we have also set ourselves the goal of making our contribution towards more sustainable e-commerce logistics. To this end, we have launched initiatives to reduce our CO2 emissions. We have also decided to offset the negative impact of our employees and in our offices.

Just as in 2020 and 2021, and following through on our claim to environmentally friendly action, byrd will continue to be climate-neutral in 2022! This year, we have enlisted professional help from ClimatePartner to accurately measure our carbon footprint and take another step towards even greener action. In addition to prioritizing and making efforts to reduce our emissions, we have once more committed to offsetting our unavoidable CO2 emissions by supporting two projects in Colombia and Brazil. By protecting endangered forests and expanding wind energy, we were able to offset more than 450t of CO2e.

The need for sustainability in e-commerce and curbing the impacts of global warming became paramount, and we want to support the growing call for eco-friendly practices in e-commerce and logistics. Building on that sentiment we have, for the consecutive year now, partnered up with Onetreeplanted and joined their reforestation campaign in Scotland. We donated 1 tree for every 100 shipments fulfiled during the Christmas season of 2020 and in total, we have effectively offset 21,5 tonnes (metric) of carbon dioxide emissions.

Sustainability and corporate responsibility are core building blocks of byrd since day one and moving towards reducing and avoiding carbon emissions of our corporate activities is a natural step forward. This is why we have partnered up with Planetly to find out more about our company’s carbon footprint and how to get the most out of our carbon offset activities. In this project we have offset a total of 150t CO2e by supporting two projects; Biogas Project, North Brabant in the Netherlands and Borneo Rainforest REDD+ Project in Indonesia.
