When it comes to our health, few things are as crucial as the performance of our doctors. The expertise and skills of healthcare professionals directly impact patient outcomes, treatment success rates, and overall healthcare quality. It is vital to recognize and understand the importance of doctor performance in order to ensure the best possible care for individuals and communities.

During April, Shopify is matching all carbon removal funding on deliveries from merchants that are using the Planet app. This effectively doubles our merchants’ and their customers’ impact.

Combatting delivery emissions is what our planet needs, and it’s also what customers want: more than half (54%) of people say they shop sustainably, and 43% say they’re more likely to purchase from a sustainable brand.

Since 2022, our merchants have used Planet to:

• neutralize shipping emissions from more than 25 million orders
• remove 23,000 tons of carbon from the atmosphere
• contribute more than $1 million in funding for carbon removal projects

How Planet Works

Once installed, Planet estimates merchants’ shipping emissions by looking at factors like delivery distance, transportation method, and product weight. Merchants choose a subscription plan and pay an average of 3.5 to 15 cents per order to fund carbon removal.

In January 2024, we launched a feature that lets customers fund carbon removal too, by adding 25 cents to their order.

This funding goes to companies developing carbon removal technologies like direct air capture, ocean carbon removal, bio-oil sequestration, soil carbon storage, and enhanced rock weathering.

“Implementing Planet has been a meaningful step in making it possible for us to achieve carbon neutrality in our shipping operations,” said merchant Perfectly Natural Soap. “We're proud to partner with a solution that not only aligns with our environmental goals but also makes greener logistics possible, reinforcing our commitment to the planet and our customers.”
