      I wonder if it's just scan errors - it seems pretty unlikely the packages actually went that route.

        Very happy to announce that we are now officially carbon neutral. Will be posting more detail on the amount of carbon offset and what the credits have been used towards in due course.

        The certificate is in the name of Island to Island Group, to those not familiar this is the company structure involving Iron Heart.

            Very well done @Alex

            Congratulations to all concerned. That means a lot to me as a customer, fanboy, and friend to the brand. Must have taken a lot of work. Truly well done.

                    Truly a worthwhile achievement Stubborn Crew…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

                    One more fact to add to my list of reasons why IH is my # 1 clothing brand (by a mile)!

                    The journey is the objective.

                          This is super interesting @Alex can you explain how a business that involves so much in the way of international logistics can be carbon neutral? Always so great to see how realistic and doable it is to go green.

                            The company goes through a fairly stringent 'weighing' process to identify how much carbon is used in each area of the business, then obviously you take steps to minimise what you can. As you say, for us, shipping internationally is something that we cannot cut out of the business so we look to use more carbon-friendly routes/couriers and anything that cannot be prevented you pay to offset the usage. We then reasses on an annual basis and need to show evidence of minimising our usage where possible without offsets, but a portion will continue to be offset on an ongoing basis.

                              Pleased to report that my new 888’s from IHUK were just delivered by cargo bike - DPD seem to have a “last mile” partnership with our local pedal powered delivery company.

                                Uk to Oz with UPS is a weird route
                                Will hit Honolulu next then Sydney
                                Seems a long way round

                                  @Brian I don't think that this route is in the hands of IH.
                                  Cologne is the main european hub for UPS, as the airport does not have a ban on night flights. UPS has a couple of main routes going in and out, and I'm sure they have optimized them best they can.
                                  There is a small time window on sunday afternoon when a three UPS 747 arrive, one after another. The kids alsways had fun watching that.

                                    I’m aware they didn’t choose the route it’s just a crazy route to take that’s all
                                    FedEx DHL always go Europe and east not Europe then west again
                                    My parcels see more of the world than I do 😂
