There are many reasons why at SPF we are big fans of Shopify, from being a fantastic e-commerce solution for many business types to the way they operate as a company. Shopify's recent work on their Sustainability Fund is just another tick against their name in our books and should be another reason to consider the platform when investing in a new online shop. When you are paying a monthly fee to host your shop it is nice to know that as well as funding an excellent platform and support service, some of your money is going to great causes as well!
One year ago Shopify started their sustainability fund to reduce carbon in the air. As a company with a 100-year vision, Shopify has a vested interest in making sure the next century is worth reaching. They spent $5 million on schemes to remove carbon from the atmoshpere. They conducted their own research, consulted with the team of scientific experts at Carbon Direct, and had lengthy discussions with dozens of businesses.
