Eco Initiatives
OUR MISSION |
To create coveted items that are to be treasured for years to come. As a female owned small business who cares about our impact on the planet as much as we care about the upliftment of our community. We are eco-conscious and have made every intention to be as sustainable and ethical as possible by aligning with suppliers and other businesses (throughout all orders of operation) who carry the same eco-mission and level of care as us. We believe in empowering our customer and community through sustainable creation and supply.
CARBON NEUTRAL DELIVERY |
Carbon neutral shipping is now a complimentary added benefit of our partnership with Route Package Protection. Our shipments are carbon offset and directly supports an agroforestry initiative that removes CO₂ from the air and promotes a flourishing ecosystem.
"Beginning with this project, we've committed to neutralising 100,000 tonnes of carbon. That's equivalent to planting and protecting 1.65M trees. We want to lead the charge toward a net-zero emissions ecommerce experience by equipping Merchants with the tools they need and encouraging customers to offset their carbon footprints" - Route

SUSTAINABILITY & FAIR TRADE |
We love our planet, and aim to respect it and tread as lightly as possible for the love of future generations to come. We recycle, reuse and reduce wherever possible. Here are the ways ST SOLEIL is consciously contributing, caring and giving back:
I. Certified Sustainable Paper: All paper and card stock we use is created with certified sustainable paper products that are FSC Approved, meaning no natural tree areas are cut down to produce our products.
II. Eco Printing: Vegetable based inks are used in our offset printing for our books, journals and printed papers.
III. Carbon Neutral Shipping: our orders are carbon offset via our partner Route
II. Packaging: Our packaging is 100% recyclable and most is even biodegradable!
III. Regional Distribution: We're launching new mini St Soleil hubs to reduce carbon footprint, carbon emissions and unnecessary logistics. We have set up our main space in Tennessee USA, California USA and Hong Kong.
VI. Fair Trade: Product manufacturing is certified Fair Trade Labour
NONPROFIT 'GIVE N KIND' ♻ |
Transforming excess goods into community resources. GiveNKind facilitates responsible giving to benefit our community and the environment.
St Soleil works closely with Give N Kind a Chicago-based nonprofit organisation that matches returned, excess and misprinted stock items with local nonprofits. Transforming excess goods into community resources
We believe in changing the Retail System, and what it means to for to produce an item with a multiple-use life cycle, or re-purposing items for a different life than intended. We believe our initiative should be a standard of the retail industry, not an exception.
We're always looking for ways to improve. We welcome any helpful feedback or suggestions! Get in touch with us here
