DefinitionFinancial climate contributionThe financial climate contribution means that an organisation has calculated the emissions of their company, product or service, and funded climate projects to the amount of the calculated emissions.
System BoundariesSources of emissions covered for the financial contributionThrough the operations and activities of a company, carbon emissions are generated. The financial climate contribution for companies includes at minimum direct emissions generated by the company (i.e. heat generation, vehicle fleet, and fugitive gases), emissions from purchased energy like electricity, and also indirect emissions from purchased energy, business travel, and employee commuting. Other emissions that occur outside of the company's direct control, such as those during the extraction and production of raw materials purchased by the company, intermediate products, external logistics, product use, and end-of-life-treatment are not mandatory.

During the manufacturing, processing, and transportation of a product, carbon emissions are generated. These emissions can be directly related to the product, such as through raw materials, packaging, preliminary products, or disposal. They can also be indirectly related, for example, through employees' commuting. Emissions from the use phase are excluded unless the product itself causes carbon emissions, such as a combustion engine or a gas-powered heater.

Company highlights

Respectful: Eggs that won’t cost the EarthFrom farm to shelf, we’ve made a commitment to our planet and pledged to reduce our carbon foodprint, producing the UK’s first carbon neutral egg. Revolutionising the way we think about food and our planet. Climate change is one of the defining issues of our times, so Respectful farmers tread lightly on our land, seeking to nourish and protect the environment. Learn more
Eco Friendly Hens
Our wholesome, white-feathered hens are instinctively environmentally minded and super-efficient birds. They are significantly more productive than standard brown birds, and not too demanding. As a result, they naturally lower their carbon footprint – just by being themselves. They have a smaller appetite than their brown-feathered friends, meaning they make a smaller impact on our planet in terms of carbon emissions required to produce their feed.

Local, soy-free feed
We are so proud to say that we are doing something rather extraordinary when it comes to feeding our wholesome hens. We have completely removed soya from their feed and replaced with homegrown, nutritious field beans from our farm, making a staggering 50% reduction in CO2 emissions alone versus a standard brown laying bird on a soya diet. Soya is also intrinsically linked to deforestation and comes at a huge cost to the Amazon rainforest.

Renewable Energy
We care about clean energy at Respectful. Both our farm and our packing centre use renewable energy from our own solar array. We’ve mounted solar panels across our farm, including on the roofs of hen houses and sheds, to soak up the glorious rays. We recognise it’s a difficult ‘weather dependent’ journey, but we’re taking important steps in the right direction.
