Our Pledge for a Better World

Here at ALPAKA we have prioritized not only being a cohesive brand, but also making sure that we are a conscientious and thoughtful one, with both eyes turned towards the future. Because of this, sustainability and an environmentally ethical business model have always been top priorities for us. We strongly believe that the days of using business solely for profit are long gone, and we are listening to consumers globally, asking that their favorite brands do their part in helping Mother Nature. So, think of this as our plan, our promise, and our pledge to you and to generations to come for a brighter future that we and the planet may all enjoy.

 

Environmental NGO’s

Every year we will be donating 1% of all profits to non-governmental organisations that have dedicated their time and resources to helping protect the environment, as well as fighting for environmental causes.

  

Planting Trees for Every Bag Sold

We see planting trees as one of the best things we personally can do to try and offset the growing amount of CO2 emissions, as well as helping to regrow and bring life back to animal habitats. This is why we have partnered with our friends at One Tree Planted, to support their forestry efforts, and help make sure ALPAKA stays a sustainable brand.

How it works is that for every purchase on our store, a tree gets planted. It’s as simple as that. We understand that as a business, as any business should, we must acknowledge and take responsibility for our own carbon footprint. Our end goal is always to do our business in the best way possible and to us, this partnership with One Tree Planted was the perfect way to do our part for the environment, whilst including our consumers in the process too. The best way forward in protecting the environment, is together.

 

How You Can Help

So, you have just purchased a beautiful ALPAKA product, fantastic! Shortly after placing your order you will first receive a confirmation email from us about your order, with a receipt of your purchase. We'll tally up the orders at the end of each month and donate to different projects at One Tree Planted. That's it! 

From your one newly planted tree 40kgs to 100kgs of CO2 will be offset. How cool is that!

Now head on over to our listed products so we can begin our fight to reforest the planet, together!
