LOVE YOUR PLANET
Our mission: reduce CO2 emissions, through many small daily gestures respecting our planet.
Relaxshoe, a company that has always been attentive to the environment, chooses Carbonsink, a consultancy company specializing in decarbonisation and climate risk management strategies for businesses, as a partner for its climate strategy.
By purchasing certified carbon credits, Relaxshoe supports international mitigation projects, capable of offsetting the emissions associated with its activities and contributing to improving the living conditions of local communities.
The two projects supported in 2021and the new project in 2022, which consists of the installation of 300 turbines to generate renewable wind energy in State of Tamilnadu in India, allow Relaxshoe to contribute to the achievement of some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, in Italian Sustainable Development Goals) .
Their birth dates back to 2015 and is well explained on the official website dedicated to them. These are common objectives that the international community (all 193 member countries of the UN) has set itself to promote the sustainable development of the planet .
There are 17, divided into 169 specific “goals” to be achieved by 2030. They belong to all countries and to all individuals in the world and have been made their own by all those who deal with "development" in the broad sense: development cooperation, but also development of their own community, economic and social development and environmental sustainability.
