No Comments on We are making Shipping Carbon Neutral

Staying true with our values and our philosophy, we want to do our part to reduce the impact our business has on climate change. We are now making shipping carbon neutral.

We are proud to announce a new partnership with Pachama which allows us to neutralize the shipping emissions that contribute to climate change. What that means for you, you are now supporting an environmentally-friendly business that invests in sustainability initiatives to counteract the environmental impact of shipping with your order at Tico Coffee Roasters.

We are offsetting the total emissions generated by our shipped orders and offset them by contributing to acquiring carbon credits for forest protection initiatives to neutralize the impact. This will make every order shipped carbon neutral.
