We are carbon neutral
The Green Path
Some day we'll become a brand that leaves absolutely no carbon footprint. While we work towards this, we'll help other climate initiatives along the way. For every order, we offset our entire CO2 emissions by funding UN-verified climate projects.
How does it actually work?
We have been calculating how much CO2 is being emitted by our employees, manufacturing, shipping and stores. And then we've rounded up those numbers. That's why we, for every time you buy a watch, offset the order with a 125 kilo CO2 reduction by funding environmental friendly projects carefully selected by CHOOOSE. The programme includes funding wind power projects in Costa Rica and Vietnam and a hydropower project in Laos. These initiatives create the most effective and fastest combat to climate change.
And actually, a 125 kilo CO2 reduction is more than we need to offset, but that is fine with us. The carbon reduction compensates for the CO2 emitted by the employees at About Vintage, our products and the shipments to all our amazing customers.
Partnerships
Partnering up with CHOOOSE is just one of the ways we support in combatting climate issues. With the introduction of our 1926 At’Sea Automatic, we initiated our support to The Ocean Cleanup and their mission to remove 90% of the plastic pollution in the world’s oceans. Additionally, our new nato straps are made 100% from recycled plastic. With all of these initiatives, we are saying goodbye to our carbon footprint and hello to a better world.
And by shipping our orders with DHL, we also support their mission to GoGreen and reach zero emissions by 2050.
