According to a study published in 2017 by the European Environment Agency (EEA), textile purchases in the EU caused approximately 654 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions per capita, making the textile sector the fifth largest largest source of CO2 emissions related to private consumption in that year.
At Humpier, together with Dcycle, we are committed to offsetting the CO2 emitted from the design and production process, investing in projects that cancel or avoid emissions to minimize our impact and contribute to some of the SDGs promoted by the UN.

WHAT IS COMPENSATION AND WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?
Offsetting is the act of claiming the environmental benefit of greenhouse gas mitigation activities to offset unavoidable emissions elsewhere. The environmental benefit of mitigation activities is represented in compensation certificates. Each certificate ( CER ) is equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) avoided or removed from the atmosphere. Compensation is carried out by paying a project, which cancels or avoids emissions, as many CERs as tons of CO2 emitted.

HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE TO BE CARBON NEUTRAL?
The entire production process of our garments (from design to order delivery) is monitored to calculate the direct and indirect emissions generated. These CO2 emissions are harmful to our environment, our contribution to ensuring that this does not occur is to leave no trace, to compensate. Depending on the carbon footprint determined for each product, HUMPIER invests in credits equivalent to its negative emission.

WHO IDENTIFIES COMPENSATION CREDITS?
The certification of the credits is endorsed by the UN climate change office. It is a concept that may sound very abstract, it would be much simpler to tell you that for each garment, we plant a tree, however, it would be less effective. Carbon credits are an international decontamination mechanism to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. In our case, the compensation made is directed to a wind plant located in Central America.
