To ensure a cleaner future for the global shipping industry in the 21st century, Shypple has developed sustainable solutions and partnered with environmentally conscious organizations. We invite our customers to join our mission to reduce the carbon footprint and minimize the long-term environmental impact of shipping.
Transparency empowers people to make more sustainable choices when they book shipping through our platform. Thanks to our partnership with SeaRoutes, an GLEC-certified organization, we provide our customers with highly accurate well-to-tank and tank-to-wheel CO2e numbers for each shipment they book.
Shypple partners with ForestNation, a reforestation program that plants trees in the Usambara region of Tanzania to offset carbon emissions. We currently plant trees to offset all our emissions. The emissions even include the ones caused by our employees who commute. We do this the Shypple way: We plant 10x more trees to compensate even faster. We also enable our customers to plant their own carbon offset forests with ForestNation.
As we plant more trees we mitigate some of the negative impact of deforestation. As it's hard to eliminate this on our own, we would love to try to come together as a team to help drive change. Trees capture atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the environmental impact of CO2 emissions. As we plant trees, we and our customers not only compensate for our emissions, we also support the local economy and provide job opportunities and social security for the people of the Usambara region.
Biofuel is a major step towards to reduce the carbon emitted in the shipping industry. Along with GoodShipping, our ambition is to promote the use of biofuels throughout the shipping industry. To avoid that biofuels are transported to each port of departure, we work with the mass-balance principle: We calculate the volume of emissions per shipment and offset it with biofuel on a different route.
This means that customers who choose biofuel, may not use it on their specific shipment, but rather contribute to an overall reduction of emissions of the shipping industry. We have to play as a team to overcome this challenge and we love that. When our customers choose biofuels, they earn an accredited certificate to display on their own website or platform. This solution is currently being developed, and will be live in 2022.
