Sustainable ecommerce

How we're working to reduce ecommerce's climate impact

Carbon offsetting is a way to compensate for the carbon dioxide we spew into the atmosphere by funding projects that reduce greenhouse gases or absorb carbon from the air. At cgk.ink, this means investing in renewable energy sources, reforestation efforts, and energy-efficient technologies that help balance out the environmental impact of shipping and packaging.

Stripe Climate is the easiest way to help promising permanent carbon removal technologies launch and scale. cgk.ink has joined a growing group of ambitious businesses that are changing the course of carbon removal.
