How We've Committed

How We've Committed
In 2024/2025

1. SafeStyle is financially supporting the efforts of Carbon Positive Australia (CPA) to plant natives across Australia. We’ve also committed to offsetting the carbon from our offices and employees on top of this.

2. SafeStyle is now offsetting all transport of our products from manufacturing to our warehouses with CPA

3. SafeStyle has committed to working directly with our manufacturers to offset the production of our growing range of products.

4. We’ve also set our default donation option to “planting trees with CPA” at checkout to help customers offset their impact

How we offset carbon dioxide
with Carbon Positive Australia

When partnering with good local crew like Carbon Positive Australia, we provide important funding so that they can secure land and replant native bush on it.

Why Offset Carbon?

Carbon offsetting can get a bad wrap when big corporations abuse it but let’s help you understand why it’s necessary and how it can really work. SafeStyle has a carbon footprint; this comes from any activity we do that produces greenhouse gas emissions (usually CO2 and/or Methane). Whether it’s during manufacturing of our products, transport to get them to us, and you, or even just an employee going about their daily work at head office or on the road.

Carbon offsetting is what we can do to make up for this Carbon footprint. We invest in projects that actively remove or prevent greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. There are a bunch of different ways to do this such as renewable energy, carbon capture technology etc but we’ve chosen native reforestation. This means we’re not just planting pine trees in a paddock somewhere… we’re supporting CPA who secure land, plant native bush and support the area as it comes back to life!

What Is Carbon Dioxide To Us?

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring gas essential for life on Earth. However, when too much CO2 builds up in the atmosphere, it becomes harmful, trapping excessive heat and disrupting the natural balance. Human activities have dramatically increased CO2 levels, largely through processes like producing polycarbonate, a durable plastic used in industries such as our eyewear as well as automotives, and electronics. Polycarbonate is made from raw materials such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene, in a process that requires large amounts of energy, often sourced from fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases such as CO2.

For every tonne of polycarbonate produced, approximately 2 tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere. This excess CO2 traps heat, amplifying the natural greenhouse effect and leading to global warming. Rising temperatures contribute to more extreme weather events (cyclones, floods, heat waves…) melting polar ice, and rising sea levels.

RECORD HIGH CO₂ LEVELS OF 420 PPM:
A RED FLAG FOR GLOBAL WARMING

In 2023, CO₂ levels reached an alarming 420 ppm, marking a dramatic rise from pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm. This level contributes directly to rising global temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and irreversible changes to our ecosystems—making it more critical than ever to take action in reducing and offsetting CO₂ emissions.
