Carbon Footprint Facts

At the good tonic, we are reducing our impact on the environment by reducing our own carbon footprint, and giving you, our customers more sustainable and ethical products to buy.

We have sources products from suppliers and artisans who hold the same believes as we do.  By shopping consciously, you can reduce unnecessary waste, buying clothing and products that are designed to last, have sustainable manufacturing practises in place and reuse recycled products where possible.

By shopping smarter, this reduces your own carbon footprint contribution. 

Where possible we partner with B Corp brands.  These companies have completed a rigorous assessment process to meet the following:

B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. In order to achieve certification, a company must: 

• Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing our risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards. 

• Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction. 

• Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.  

Some of our B Corp brands are:

• Untouched World
• Barebones
• Duffle & Co
• Bellroy

With many others in the process of being assessed, or have similar high standards around their workers, communities, customers, suppliers, and the environment.
