How does El Felipe contribute to environmental sustainability?

At El Felipe, we are committed to minimizing our carbon footprint and promoting environmental stewardship. We have partnered with cutting-edge companies, Planet, Eden Reforestation Projects, Good API, Grassroots Carbon, Mast Reforestation, and Website Carbon, dedicated to calculating our carbon emission, planting trees, removing carbon from the air, achieving remarkable milestones such as removing thousands of tons of carbon and implementing carbon-neutral shipping on over ten million orders.

What is Good API and how does it contribute to El Felipe's sustainability?

El Felipe partners with Good API which supports reforestation projects globally, including initiatives like the Eden Reforestation Projects. They plant trees for every order made at El Felipe, nurture ecosystems, provide livelihoods to indigenous communities, and safeguard wildlife habitats.

How does El Felope ensure cost-efficient reforestation?

El Felipe and Good API works with Eden Reforestation to ensure cost-efficient reforestation by utilizing free or affordable resources, planting mangrove species that facilitate self-propagation, and minimizing costs associated with procurement and irrigation.

What is Website Carbon and how does El Felipe use it?

Website Carbon is a tool implemented by El Felipe to quantify carbon emissions released into the environment with each transaction. This enables us to offset emissions through various carbon offsetting initiatives, including reforestation projects and carbon removal efforts. This badge can be seen at the bottom of every page of our webstore.

How does El Felipe calculate and offset shipping emissions?

With every order placed, a meticulous formula calculates the estimated shipping emissions. A portion of our revenue is then allocated to certified carbon removal companies, vetted by experts at Carbon Direct. These companies utilize the funds to extract the equivalent amount of carbon emitted during shipping. Any surplus funds are channeled into advancing carbon removal technologies.

Can you provide examples of the companies El Felipe partners with for carbon removal?

El Felipe collaborates with pioneering organizations like Good API, Grassroots Carbon and Mast Reforestation. Grassroots Carbon assists ranchers in adopting land management practices that enhance soil and ecological health, capturing and storing more carbon in the soil. Mast Reforestation rejuvenates forests ravaged by wildfires, utilizing a blend of traditional forestry methods and cutting-edge technology to restore resilient, climate-adapted forests.

How does El Felipe approach eco-friendly packaging?

We have bid farewell to plastic and embraced eco-friendly alternatives. One innovative solution we've adopted is packaging made from cassava, a versatile and sustainable material that mimics the properties of plastic without the environmental repercussions. Additionally, we exclusively use recycled paper for our paper bags and individual packaging, minimizing waste and conserving precious resources. We have also establish a recycling facility in our HQ.

What other sustainability practices does El Felipe implement?

Beyond packaging, El Felipe prioritizes sustainability in all aspects of operations. El Felipe is made in the Philippines by Filipinos, for Filipinos. We collaborate with local craftsmen and women, promote fair labor practices, and invest in carbon offset projects. Our commitment to sustainability extends from sourcing sustainable fabrics to implementing zero waste initiatives and lean manufacturing practices.

By prioritizing sustainability, we align ourselves with a brighter, greener future for generations to come, embracing eco-friendly practices and making a positive impact on the world around us.
