The 5th June is World Environment Day, now in its 49th year of celebration the aim of this day is to encourage awareness to address environmental issues and take action to protect the environment.

Buyagift is forging the way in taking responsibility for the environmental impact from its business as the first experience provider in the UK to offset 100% of its carbon footprint. Buyagift has taken responsibility for carbon emissions across the business, including its customers’ travel to the experience. In taking this additional step, it is allowing its customers to reduce their own personal environmental impacts.

Dan Mountain, CEO of Buyagift UK, says,
“We are proud to be a carbon neutral business. Our aim for the past 20 years has been to minimise and mitigate the environmental impacts of our business and in doing so we have supported the forestry protection charity, Cool Earth. Now, with this neutrality achievement, we have accurately calculated the amount of carbon created by all aspects of our business and we are off-setting 100% of this through verified carbon projects. Our approach begins to address this issue in ways that can be adopted by other companies, and we want our actions to inspire, not only our customers but also employees, and partners on their climate journey. We aim to reduce our carbon footprint even further with the ambition to reach net zero as soon as possible.”
