Sustainability Story
In a world where the events industry casts a substantial ecological footprint, Nordic Wristbands has emerged as a beacon of sustainability. In recent years, as part of their efforts to champion environmental practices, they have seamlessly integrated a diverse range of organic materials into their product lineup for the event and entertainment sector. While this marks a step forward, many of their clients still rely on their cheaper virgin polyester alternatives. In response, Nordic Wristbands has proactively taken measures to compensate for these emissions, leading to a pivotal collaboration with Stand For Trees.
By aligning forces with us, Nordic Wristbands has fortified its journey towards carbon neutrality, effectively offsetting the carbon dioxide emissions produced by its fabric wristband and smart tag manufacturing processes. How did this come to be? Stand For Trees measured Nordic Wristbands’ 2022 carbon footprint, quantifying it at 348 tonnes. Responding to this metric, Nordic resolved to neutralize this impact by procuring and retiring carbon offsets from our transformative Mai Ndombe project—a sprawling 250,000-hectare nature reserve nestled within the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
This endeavor has yielded profound benefits. Nordic Wristbands’ impact means preserving nearly 7,000 ancient trees from imminent destruction. Additionally, their involvement contributes to securing education, healthcare, clean drinking water, and more for over 30,000 residents involved with the project. Beyond its human and climate benefits, Mai Ndombe is a critical habitat for forests elephants, bonobos, and an array of other irreplaceable species.
