Top Eco-Friendly Shopify Stores

Nearly half of the consumers worldwide (41%) are very open to paying a higher price for products made with only natural or organic ingredients.

From this situation, we can understand that in the future, as people become more aware, they will avoid stores that are not sustainable, and success will only be achieved by those stores that are truly sustainable.

According to the 2022 Shopify Climate Report:

Support for Merchants: Shopify helps its merchants future-proof their businesses by giving them access to the same high-quality climate solutions that Shopify uses. This initiative makes it easier for both merchants and buyers to take climate action, thereby creating more demand for carbon removal and other climate solutions.

Planet App: In June 2022, Shopify introduced the Planet app, which replaced their first merchant offering, the Offset app. The Planet app estimates merchants’ shipping emissions and enables them to make their shipments carbon neutral. It achieves this by funding innovative companies that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it.

By the end of 2022, over 6,500 merchants had installed the Planet app, resulting in the removal of 6,040 tCO2e delivery emissions and over 7 million carbon-neutral orders.

Considering both the shopping behaviors of users and Shopify’s stance, the path to success in e-commerce lies in implementing sustainable practices and emphasizing them.
