The importance of environment for Gaiam

The Conservation Fund

Environment for The Conservation Fund

By creating solutions that make environmental and economic sense, the Conservation Fund is redefining conservation to demonstrate its essential role in the future prosperity.  Top-ranked for efficiency and effectiveness, this Fund has worked in all 50 states in the U.S. to protect more than 7.5 million acres of land since 1985.

Gaiam launched the world’s first carbon-neutral product shipping program in 2006. Partnering with The Conservation Fund, the company created its Go ZeroSM program to involve its great number of customers in climate-change action and raised awareness about the impact of carbon dioxide emissions.

This committed company uses 100% recyclable and biodegradable eco-conscious packaging for all its products. Designed to make the smallest environmental footprint possible, the lightweight, tough and resilient packaging is made from 100% post-consumer waste and is printed with soy-based ink.

Organic materials for their products

Gaiam sources its 30% post-consumer waste paper from a sustainable forest managed by the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). PEFC is an organization known for being the world’s largest nongovernmental organization, which promotes sustainably managed forests.

Gaiam is also a company committed to zero-waste standards at its corporate office, adding composting collection to an already robust recycling program that includes materials not collected in most businesses. The company reuses shipping containers and also uses biodegradable packing at its distribution center. In addition to that, Gaiam provides opportunity for employees to join off-site stream cleanups and Habitat for Humanity projects.

The Gaiam lifestyle is a vote for individual health and sustainability of the Earth’s resources
