Gerven Bulbs: CO₂ Neutral with Shopify

At Gerven Bulbs, our mission is to make the planet a little greener. We do this not only by delivering beautiful flower bulbs, but also by actively contributing to reducing our environmental impact. Through our support of Shopify Planet, we ensure that every shipment is completely CO₂ neutral. Shopify Planet automatically calculates the emissions of every shipment and invests in projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere and safely store it for more than 1000 years. For every order, we contribute between €0.05 and €0.15 to these initiatives. In this way, we work together towards a more sustainable future.

Problem, innovation and investment

Climate change is a complex problem without simple solutions. At Gerven Bulbs, we believe it is our responsibility to contribute to both existing solutions and new technologies that help to store CO₂ long-term and improve biodiversity. That is why our involvement goes beyond supplying flower bulbs; we strive to make a positive impact for the future.
Our contributions support cutting-edge carbon removal projects that have great potential to combat climate change. Every order you place with Gerven Bulbs indirectly contributes to some of the most promising climate solutions worldwide, as well as to the preservation of healthy, thriving biodiversity.

Accelerated Carbon Removal for a Green Future

The Shopify Sustainability Fund, which we support, invests in both existing solutions and innovative carbon removal technologies. By funding pilot projects and creating demand, it helps stimulate the carbon removal market and lowers future costs.

We actively contribute to these projects by financially supporting leading initiatives such as Grassroots Carbon, Mast Reforest and Remora. Instead of offsetting emissions through forest protection, these projects focus specifically on removing carbon from the atmosphere. Together we create real impact.

Grassroots Carbon, one of the initiatives supported by the Shopify Sustainability Fund, focuses on capturing carbon in the soil through regenerative agriculture. They provide landowners with advanced tools like rotational grazing software and soil carbon mapping technology, which helps them generate certified carbon credits. This approach ensures that landowners are financially rewarded for storing carbon in their healthy soils.
