Transforming shipping

To do what’s best for people and the planet, we need to change how shipping works beyond the routes and customers we serve. As a Certified B Corp, Sendle and our partners are leading that change. 

More on B Corp

Proud to be America's first
100% carbon neutral shipper

Each year 165 billion packages are sent across the United States alone. And, each one of those packages has an impact on the environment. In addition to a heap of packaging waste, pounds of CO₂ are emitted into the atmosphere with every delivery. It’s a huge problem. 

By shipping with Sendle, you're part of the solution. Every time you send a package, we offset the carbon emissions and invest in remarkable environmental projects.

Shoppers are looking for more sustainable products and services, but many of them don’t yet know that carbon neutral shipping is an option. Incorporate this carbon neutral delivery seal and carbon neutral delivery seal into your website, checkout page, or packaging slip to give your customers one more reason to feel good about purchasing from you.

We account for the CO₂ released for every parcel sent with Sendle. After calculating the carbon footprint, we invest in high-quality projects that prevent the release of carbon or remove it from the atmosphere, often conserving and restoring vital ecosystems. We guarantee that all deliveries from Sendle customers are 100% carbon neutral.
Nope! Being sustainable shouldn’t cost more. In fact, with Sendle you can actually save money by being green. How cool is that?
Absolutely! Each year we ask Sendlers to select a project for us to invest in on their behalf.

Yes! Before offsetting comes reductions to prevent the release of CO₂ (and air pollutants) in the first place. Sendle’s network prevents emissions by filling the unused capacity in trucks already on the road and we work to lower our carbon intensity every year. We are a Climate Neutral Certified company, and committed to reducing even more to achieve net zero emissions by 2040.

Environmental impact

Every single delivery makes a difference by saving carbon capturing forests and all the little creatures that call them home.

From Earth to Interstellar space

Sendle has offset 64.6 billion kilometers of carbon. That's 59.83 light hours, or the equivalent to driving a 1 tonne truck deeper into space than the Voyager probe!

Sendle is a Certified B Corporation

Yep! And we’re super proud of being part of a community of over 8,000 businesses making a difference. Just as we’re committed to doing right by the planet, we’re also committed to helping out our other stakeholders—our customers, our community, our workers, and society at large.

We’ve been a Certified B Corp since 2014. The B Corp ethos has informed our every decision from day one and it’s an integral part of how we do business today.


B Corp Sendle

What is a B Corp?

A B Corp is a company that verifiably meets the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. To become certified, each company takes an assessment that measures their performance across five key areas—Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.

The process is rigorous, but it’s worth it. It helps us clarify our vision of the company we should be and it shows our customers exactly what we’re all about.

By weaving the B Corp ethos into the structure of our business, we’re able to make good business a natural part of our operations.

The Tasmanian Forest project stops logging and land degradation, preventing stored carbon from being released, protecting this vibrant forest with species found nowhere else, and expanding ecotourism and employment opportunities to local communities. This project’s protected area covers the habitats of several endangered species, including the Tasmanian Wedge-Tailed Eagle, the Eastern Quoll, the Ptunarra Brown Butterfly, and the Tasmanian devil.

Mexico

The Teak Mexico project prevents the loss of wildlife habitation from extensive farming and logging while aiming to restore the land and create stable job opportunities in Tabasco, Chiapas, and Campeche, Mexico. The project is heading forest management and creating a supply chain of highly valued teak wood, helping to mitigate global warming, improve soil quality and water conservation, and add biodiversity.

Alto Huayabamba

Peru

The Alto Huayabamba project conserves the tropical forests and lowlands of the Andes that teem with irreplaceable wildlife, by employing the local community, implementing sustainable initiatives, and reducing emissions associated with deforestation and land degradation. The protected area is home to many threatened animal species, like the yellow-tailed woolly monkey and species that thrive in the Huayabamba River.

Mount Sandy

Australia

The Mount Sandy protects a rare pocket of wetlands and woodlands full of native vegetation from land degradation by farmlands and employs community members of the region’s Traditional Owners, the Ngarrindjeri. The Ngarrindjeri people have cared for Coorong country for thousands of years, relying on the land to serve as their home and strategic habitats for native wildlife, such as the Short-Beaked Echidna, Purple-Gaped Honeyeater, and Elegant Parrot.
