Etsy’s Ecological Impact Goals
We have developed an impact strategy that reflects the positive economic, social, and environmental impact we want to have on the world while advancing and complementing our business strategy. Since announcing our impact strategy in 2017, we have updated some of our goals to be more specific, measurable and time bound. We expect to continue to evolve our impact strategy in the future as our impact work matures. Our ecological impact goal is to:
Build long-term resilience by eliminating our carbon impacts and fostering responsible resource use
To advance this goal, we’ve set three sub-goals. They are:
- Utilize and source energy responsibly so that we can power our operations with 100% renewable electricity by 2020 and reduce the intensity of our energy use by 25% by 2025
- Mitigate the ecological impact of our marketplace by offering carbon neutral shipping on 100% of transactions by 2020
- Run zero waste operations by 2020
We’ll continue to keep our stakeholders informed on our progress, challenges, and learnings through this section of our Impact blog.
We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation!
