Social & Enviromental Responsibility
Last Updated: 20th July 2023.
Naelle LTD t/a Naelle Studio recognises that it has a responsibility to the environment as well as socially beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods.
We encourage customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to do the same.
Environment |
Where possible we will limit the use of plastic and attempt to use packaging that is recycled and that can be recycled. This includes our main box packaging which is 100% recycled and our packing fillers which are 100% biodegradable.
As part of our ongoing strategy, we have implemented a feature at the checkout which allows our customers to also take responsibility by donating to Eco Cart, in order to make their purchase carbon neutral.
This is an optional feature and the cost is calculated by the weight of their order & estimates their CO2 footprint.
EcoCart utilizes a global network of reputable suppliers to sequester, reduce, and offset carbon emissions.
The projects that the EcoCart community supports are rigorously vetted, certified by internationally recognized standards, and hand-selected by industry experts. Each project is triple-verified to maximize positive impacts on both the planet and the local communities where their projects are held.

- Comply with all relevant regulatory requirements.
