HelloFresh and Lokai Making a Difference Through Carbon Offsets

Terrapass Matching Customer Purchases in Recognition of 50 Years of Earth Day

HOUSTON, April 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- April 22^nd marks 50 years of Earth Day, and to coincide with the milestone, terrapass is excited to announce two new collaborations to its growing list of eco-conscious partners – HelloFresh and Lokai. In selecting terrapass, both companies build on their social and environmental initiatives with carbon offsets to counter their operations-related emissions, and support investment in projects that reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

HelloFresh, the leader in delivering delicious ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes to households worldwide, is committed to sustainable business practices and helping home cooks become more eco-conscious. To add to their existing initiatives, including the use of recyclable packaging and sourcing local ingredients when possible, 100% of HelloFresh’s carbon emissions across its US footprint will be balanced through carbon offsets and renewable energy credits purchased from terrapass. A significant and immediate choice for the environment, these carbon balancing and renewable energy investments are projected to offset at least 50,000 metric tons of carbon and 24,000 megawatt hours of electricity.

“We are thrilled to partner with terrapass to accomplish our goal of offsetting 100% of our carbon emissions,” said Jeff Yorzyk, Director of Sustainability, HelloFresh. “The introduction of carbon offsetting underscores HelloFresh’s long-term strategy to make meal kits a more sustainable option for customers while leading the industry in responsible business practices.”

Known for their inspirational bracelets that remind the wearer to find balance through life's highs and lows, Lokai is a socially responsible brand. With an aligned mission to bring balance to our planet, Lokai will purchase carbon offsets through terrapass to minimize their ecological footprint and offset emissions associated with their manufacturing and shipping operations. The new ​Carbon Offset Lokai bracelet​, ​designed to symbolize a carbon molecule, is not only a wearable reminder to find personal balance, it's also an actual tool to balance one month’s worth of a person’s carbon emissions. Customers that purchase one Carbon Offset Lokai bracelet will offset the carbon emissions associated with the creation and shipment of their bracelet, as well as offset the monthly environmental impact of their daily commute.* Lokai also donates 10% of net profits to charity.
