Online vegan supermarket, TheVeganKind (TVK) has launched a tree planting initiative to help offset CO2 emissions. It’s also launched a new education platform to help spread awareness of ecological issues.
Each time a customer does a shop on the website, the company will plant a tree. This is in partnership with Ecologi, an environmental organization that funds reforestation projects.
TheVeganKind’s eco-drive
So far, the supermarket has planted 2,343 trees and contributed to vast carbon reduction as a result.
For customers to take part, all they have to do is carry out online orders as usual.
In addition to the new scheme, it launched a new page on its online platform:TVK Planet.
Here, it plans to spread awareness of environmental issues such as climate change.
Sustainability
CEO and Co-founder Scott McCulloch told PBN: “With veganism and the reduction of climate change being so intrinsically linked – our planet and environment are very important focus areas for us at TVK.
“We have a corporate social responsibility, which we take really seriously.
“Having a climate-positive workforce, as well as planting a new tree for every customer order – this really feels like the basics for us, and happening not a moment too soon.
“We are going to be writing more regularly about sustainability, climate change issues, and the general environment to ensure that our platform is used to shine a light on these important topics on a daily basis.”
