Shopify’s approach to sustainability starts with its carbon offset fund. This fund invests in projects with a negative carbon footprint, i.e. these projects capture more CO₂ than they emit. Through this fund, Shopify supports innovative initiatives that not only reduce emissions, but actively contribute to carbon sequestration.
Commitment to carbon sequestration
To solve the climate crisis, Shopify is investing in carbon sequestration technologies. Direct carbon dioxide capture, for example, involves extracting CO₂ from the atmosphere and storing it securely and permanently. This process, which is similar to treatment plants, is crucial for reducing the levels of CO₂ present in the air.

Thanks to the application Planet, merchants can easily offer their customers carbon-neutral shipping options. By integrating this app into their online store, entrepreneurs can not only reduce their environmental impact, but also share their commitment to sustainability with their customers.
Adding a badge for more visibility
To promote your ecological commitment, Shopify allows you to add and personalize the badge Planet on your online store. This badge informs customers that their purchases are shipped carbon neutrally, building trust and loyalty towards your brand.
