Orbitkey

Sustainability Story

At Orbitkey, we're passionate about clever organisation for better living — and part of better living is taking better care of and preserving the planet for future generations. As a company, we know we have the energy, appetite and ability to find cleaner, more sustainable ways of doing business. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint, lessening our impact by making more sustainable choices, and offsetting the emissions that remain. We first became a Climate Neutral Certified brand in 2020, and also launched our Cactus Leather Key Organiser range in an effort to offer a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional leather. But we know this is only the beginning, and we will continue to improve our processes and further reduce our emissions every year. Together, we can make a difference.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

01 Measure

Orbitkey measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

GHG Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

0 tCO2e

60 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

5,257 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

5,317 tCO2e

02 Offset

Orbitkey invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables Orbitkey to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Emissions Offset

Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce upstream air freight shipping by a further 30% from the prior year.

How We'll Reduce It

Better inventory planning and forecasting, reducing the need for air freight and shipping via sea + road freight instead. Where air is required, we will look to place a cap on the maximum # of shipments/week and consolidate shipments wherever possible.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions by encouraging employees to green commute

How We'll Reduce It

We will offer end of trip facilities to encourage green commuting (e.g. Bike Racks, comfortable showering facilities) We will also introduce a program to encourage team members to ride more (e.g. corporate discount on bikes, free bike tune-up days)

What We’re Reducing

Stop using poly satchels, shippers, tape, labels with non-recyclable, non-compostable materials for our Australian fulfillment

How We'll Reduce It

We will achieve this by switching suppliers, and purchasing more eco-friendly materials for our AU fulfillment needs.
