## Sustainability story

Since our inception in 2011 we made conservation a key component of our business by donating first 1% and now at least 3% of all of our sales to our 17 conservation partners including Climate Neutral and our offset projects . Starting in 2017 we partnered with Emerger Strategies to take it further by working towards not just supporting conservation, but also making our business more sustainable. We have been zero-waste to landfill for 5 years and 2019 was our first year being carbon neutral. In 2023 we further solidified our commitment to donating to conservation by becoming a 1% for the Planet Business Member.
