This means that - more than being carbon neutral as a business - we actually balance more greenhouse gas emissions than we produce! This means that if we hadn't supported these projects, that there would be a higher likelihood of the forest burning now and releasing more CO2e.

According to sustainability consultants, in 2022, this footprint came to 222.30 tonnes of carbon for the entirety of Granger Reis, or 6.01 tonnes per Granger Reis employee. To go climate positive, we then offset a further 10% of our emissions total to reach 245 tonnes of carbon - the equivalent of 2,695 hours of flight time (or 250 round trips from London to New York)!

In addition to this, we also supported the tree planting initiative in Madagascar – where 1 tree is planted for every tonne offset, as well as the tree planting initiative in Kenya, where we planted an additional 100 trees.

Our B Corp Journey

The task of offsetting and going climate positive is an annual process, requiring a yearly calculation of our carbon footprint that could account for a set amount of employees.

We have committed to completing this annually to remain a Climate Positive Business, alongside striving to become a certified B-Corp.

This is a business that meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

We want to put our money where our mouth is and benefit our environment, employees and wider community as a whole.

We submitted our B Impact Assessment in February 23, and are excited to be on this journey of positive change.
