Of course we know that taking care of the environment is a shared responsibility, but first and foremost we believe that as a business we must be accountable for the impact we have on the planet.
Reducing the carbon impact of a traditional, water-filled shampoo bottle is the premise that Everist was built on. From there we've dug in and scrutinized every element of our business to have the smallest carbon footprint possible. Producing our products locally in North America (the majority of our suppliers are within a 70 mile radius) allows us to drastically reduce our shipping impact as well as have a high level of involvement in the creation process.
Of course, when doing business there will always be some unavoidable carbon impact. To offset this we have chosen to become Climate Neutral Certified.
Climate Neutral is an independent non-profit organization that helps us measure our total carbon footprint and offset it by purchasing quality carbon credits. In addition to this, we are constantly focused on innovating to reduce our carbon footprint . We think this is an equally important piece of the equation.
Many of the world’s most biodiverse forests are at risk of deforestation because of logging and timber production. These forests also provide important incomes for local communities. In both Indonesia and Brazil we are helping to diversify local economies in order to alleviate the pressure to cut down trees. This helps preserve natural ecosystems and increases carbon stored in trees, thereby reducing emissions. Each project is independently verified, ensuring they’re effectively protecting our climate.
