Environmental Committment

Here at LUMO SPORTS we care about our planet and want to keep our business as sustainable, and our carbon footprint as low, as possible. So how are we doing this?

1. Mailing Bags - Our mailing bags are crafted from corn starch, a fully renewable resource that reduces our carbon footprint. The bags also break down naturally and are fully compostable, minimising waste and therefore harm to the planet.

2. Shipping - We use Royal Mail for all of our shipping, as they are not only reliable, but they are the most eco friendly shipping carrier in the UK. Utilising walking, electric cars and rail over air where possible, with a goal of Net Zero CO2 emissions by 2040. 

3. Encourage suppliers to use less plastic - We actively encourage our suppliers to use less plastic where possible, such as not providing us with individual plastic bags for each product when buying bulk etc. 

4. Paperless - We operate our fulfilment processes as paperless, meaning no invoice or order sheet will be included in your order. If you need that, it will have been emailed to you. 

The nature of our business is such that we cannot totally avoid CO2 emissions. That is why we have partnered with switch2zero who allow us to donate a portion of our revenue to offset our carbon emissions. 

1. For every order that is placed with us, we plant one tree. This is great for long term sustainability, as one tree will remove approximately 0.2 tonnes of carbon in its lifetime, future proofing us.  

2. We Invest in shorter term carbon offset schemes. We have calculated (and are always updating) how many tonnes of CO2 we produce as a business per year. We then invest into removal schemes, via switch2zero, to offset that total.
