Sustainable Fitness
We’re so glad you care about the environment enough to look in detail at the companies you buy from.
We believe it is our duty to question every single item we buy: what is it made from? What happens to it at the end of life? How much net carbon will this release into the atmosphere?
So, to answer those questions…
Climate Neutral fitness
Form is a Climate Neutral certified fitness company, our aim is to offset and reduce our carbon emissions. We do this in a number of ways:
Our Climate Neutral Certification
First we calculated our carbon emissions:
We used Climate Neutral’s methodology which calculates total carbon emissions based on COGS (cost of goods sold) - a measurement of how much our mats cost us to produce
We also independently calculated our carbon emissions to ensure we offset more than enough. To do this we used the embodied energy of the material used in our mats (the amount of energy consumed by extracting, processing and transporting the material) + carbon emitted by transport from our factory in Asia to our warehouse in England (we ship by sea to reduce transport emissions) + carbon emitted by transportation from our warehouse to our customers
The figures from both methods are similar; we then offset this through Climate Neutral’s offset programme, receiving verified carbon credits (meaning it actually works!). This year, Climate Neutral offsets through 3 main projects:
Grouped Small Hydro, China (21%) - providing clean energy for China’s remote mountain communities.
Forestry Conservation, Zimbabwe (54%) - working to maintain carbon sinks by keeping forests standing while providing alternative sources of income and protecting vulnerable species in Northern Zimbabwe.
Sustainable Waste Management, India (25%) - producing energy from poultry litter and discarded rice husks.
Additional offsets
We also invest a proportion of our revenue with Carbon Footprint through their verified Global Portfolio which invests in renewable energy projects in developing countries around the world
