This month we revisited some important carbon projects! Lime Sustainable Supplies has recently partnered with leading environmental organisation Ecologi. Not only to measure the impact of our own sustainable journey, but to empower you to make informed choices and embrace change for a greener future.
In December, we ended 2023 on a high through our reforestation efforts, and made a tangible impact through our contributions. Ecologi provides SMEs like us with support to sponsor whatever type of environmental projects mean most to a business, which in our case would be the funding of tree planting schemes and community-based carbon offset projects.
Here at Lime, we side with Ecologi’s mission to inspire and empower businesses to accelerate global climate action. So, we are here to show you how our impact feeds into collective action.
Every sustainable order you place through Lime contributes to the certified planting of trees on your behalf.
By offsetting carbon emissions, you’re demonstrating your commitment to sustainability. As well as building trust with your clients and prospects that will ultimately help you to retain and win new business.
Each tree is tracked and receipted, promoting gender equality, employment, new income streams, and more diverse food sources.
Both Lime and Ecologi work together to support projects that are certified to reduce & offset carbon. These contributions will continue to grow through our sustainable commitments, driven by your highly valued custom and support.
We believe in transparency, so we will continue to update you on Lime’s progress each month with our carbon offset records. Your first look at the projects Lime have successfully had a positive impact on during November 2023 are below.
Every tree we plant is receipted and traceable and every Carbon offset programme we support has to meet the highest of standards and is VCS (Verified Carbon Standard) or Gold Standard approved.
Lime Supply Ltd has supported the prevention of 15.15 tCO2e from being emitted through 2 verified carbon avoidance projects below.
