The Ware2Go Carbon Offset Shipping Initiative launched in January 2021 making Ware2Go a fully green shipping network. The program is free for all clients and offsets all CO2 emissions from small parcel, LTL, FTL, and air shipments with the purchase of carbon credits through a partnership with Pachama.
With a focus on planting new trees, these projects provide carbon benefits by capturing and storing CO2 as the trees grow.
By preserving old growth forests at risk for deforestation, these projects prevent CO2 emissions.
By improving management efforts to transition working forests to sustainable forests, these projects increase the CO2 storage rate of trees.

STEP 1: Pachama and Ware2Go’s analysts will work together to determine the monthly carbon emissions in metric tonnes of all shipments across Ware2Go’s network.
STEP 2: Based on these emissions, Ware2Go will purchase the appropriate number of carbon credits on our clients’ behalf.
STEP 3: Through a diverse portfolio of projects Pachama will use the purchased carbon credits to restore vital ecosystems, prevent deforestation of old-growth forests, and transition working forests to sustainable forests.
Pachama’s mission is focused on restoring nature to solve climate change. Leveraging data, artificial intelligence, and automation, Pachama is improving the carbon market and making it easier to protect ecosystems and restore forests through highly impactful projects.

Latest trends show that shoppers are becoming increasingly more eco-conscious in their purchasing decisions, but a study released by Shopify revealed that many shoppers will choose speed and convenience over a more sustainable option when it comes to ecommerce shipping.
