03 Reduce

Simple Switch is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

  • We'll be offsetting the plastic in our supply chain so that it's responsibly removed from the waste stream, and helping our suppliers to do the same, transitioning to less wasteful packaging.

  • Simple Switch's internal team will be working on reducing our own footprint, including increasing offsets of personal travel, better waste diversion, and more.

Sustainability Story

Since our online marketplace is all about ethical and impactful purchasing, choosing to be climate neutral was a no-brainer for Simple Switch. The chance to measure, reduce, and offset our affect on the planet allows our customers even more peace of mind when online shopping with us. Online shopping is often already more environmentally friendly than brick + mortar, but by committing to be Climate Neutral, customers know that while they are buying products that fight human trafficking, create jobs, plant trees etc, they never have to sacrifice our earth to do it.
