Carbon Neutral Shipping

All orders shipped within Canada are now carbon neutral. For every tonne of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) generated, Canada Post removes one tonne of CO2e from the atmosphere by purchasing high-quality, verified and accredited carbon offsets. The environmental projects supported by carbon offset activities neutralize the greenhouse gas emissions created by parcel delivery.

Canada Post prioritizes Indigenous owned or led, Canadian nature-based offset projects. The carbon offset purchases are recognized by the BC Carbon Registry under the BC Forest Carbon Offset Protocol and verified by an independent, accredited third-party to ensure they are real, permanent and additional.
