As you know, at The Contented Company we care greatly for the environment, trying to consume less plastic; aim for zero waste; opt for biodegradable, compostable and natural materials for products we can't use forever; and reduce our carbon footprint too. I am delighted to announce that we can now do this as a company, in partnership with two amazing organisations.
Carbon Offsetting with Pledgeling
We are donating 1% of every sale to Pledgeling's offset fund, which funds organisations working with both individuals and companies to both reduce and offset their carbon emissions. These include: We Are Neutral, Carbonfund.Org & Community Carbon Trees - Costa Rica.
Our impact so far....
In addition, you too will also have the opportunity to donate to offset carbon emissions as well, when you check out, by adding a £1 donation to your cart, or if your order value totals .50 or .75 for example, you will be able to round up to the next pound value (eg £6.50, donate 50p and round up to £7.00).
Planting Trees with One Tree Planted
We’re also thrilled to be partnering with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every order placed on our website*.
Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. Forests provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines.

We are so excited to have reforestation through One Tree Planted as an integral part of our business model.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you do to help the planet on which we live.
As ever, with love from our family to yours,
Elena x
