Progression was at the forefront of Million Dollar Baby Co.’s agenda to further intensify their impact on the environment. As a company with a pre-existing environmental structure and strong ethos, it was time to take the next step in their sustainability journey. When approaching One Tribe, Million Dollar Baby Co. were ready to compensate for their remaining emissions, ready to do so with immediate effect and eliminating the need to wait until 2030 onwards.
With this climate-first approach, Million Dollar Baby Co. calculated their scope 1-3 emissions with the intention of purchasing offsets to manage their remaining emissions. Previously they had encountered logistics companies that had charged extortionate commissions and provided limited transparency on the offsets they were procuring – a painstaking process that was lengthy and caused unwarranted stress for the team.
Marketing support was also important for Million Dollar Baby Co. in order to visually showcase their impact, and clearly communicate that their efforts to protect the planet were both certified and effective.
