Climate Action - Our Products

Our Products

Our goal is to be an Earth Positive business that’s why now, you can find Climate Positive products on our site. 

How we make our products Climate Positive 

From design to production, our garments are made in ways that intentionally reduce their environmental impact. 

We’ve teamed up with Green Story and are working closely with our manufacturing partners to measure, and subsequently reduce, the environmental footprint of our products through Life Cycle Assessments (LCA).  

Thanks to you choosing PANGAIA, instead of a conventionally manufactured alternative, this year alone we have prevented:

Learn more about our methodology by downloading this report.

On top of this, Climate Positive means that we entirely offset the residual carbon footprint through verified programs (making the product carbon neutral) and additionally we plant, protect or restore a tree with each purchase (bringing the carbon impact to making the product carbon negative, and the impact net-positive). It's about reducing our footprint and giving back more than we take.

It's about reducing our footprint and giving back more than we take.

As we complete the LCA of our products and materials, we're able to better understand the environmental impact associated with that product—including its carbon footprint. This allows us to identify areas that we can work to reduce the footprint, and also more accurately offset any remaining carbon emissions associated with the production process. We use this information to work out how much carbon we need to offset. 

See below for more information about our carbon footprint and offsets so far!

We also make sure our deliveries are carbon neutral. Here’s how your PANGAIA pieces get to you:

Our Logistics

We partner with DHL Go Green to deliver to over 120 countries, making sure that our deliveries are entirely carbon neutral.

How does this work?

  1. We pay a little extra to get our products to you.

  2. This ‘extra’ comes in the form of carbon credits.
  3. These carbon credits are put towards initiatives, funds and projects dedicated to mitigating the impacts of greenhouse gasses, such as:
  • Wind power projects in India
  • Reforestation projects in Africa
  • Biomass power plants in Vietnam
  • The eradication of landfills in Chile⠀

Over 90% of DHL Go Green’s electricity demand is supported by renewable energy sources.

So far this year, we’ve offset 4846.24 tonnes of CO2 emissions through this program to cover the 1,206,409,896km we traveled worldwide to deliver PANGAIA to you (that’s 30,104 times around the Earth this year)!

Whilst we are proud to have reached so many of you, next year we plan to work on improving the efficiency of our logistics, in order to reduce the amount of emissions that we need to offset.

Shopify

We’re a member of the Shopify offsetting program.

This program is a verified carbon standard project that protects the existing forests.
Shopify are currently supporting the Pachama Jari Parà REDD project, to avoid unplanned deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon.

Our offsetting efforts through Shopify have protected an estimated 4.7km² of forest, or the equivalent of 614,921 seedlings this year.

While we’re making the right steps, we won’t stop there. It’s the changes we will make to our business operations and our individual behaviours that make the biggest long-term difference.
