Davines is a Carbon Neutral company because it achieved a state of balance between emissions produced and emissions avoided and/or removed from the atmosphere. Davines monitors, reduces and offsets all the emissions directly related to its activity: offices, production, energy used in the buildings and company vehicles (technically called scope 1 and 2).
However, according to latest scientific definitions, a commitment to carbon neutrality does not necessarily require two aspects that for Davines are crucial and that we already started started tackling:
- Taking responsibility also of the emssions that are not under our direct control (scope 3) - for instance, Davines already monitors, reduces and compensates 100% of the emissions deriving from packaging life cycle. And that's already beyond what a committment towards Carbon Neutrality implies.
- Reducing overall GHG emissions, to limit global warming to 1.5° C - a carbon-neutral business is encouraged to reduce its emissions, but without setting a specific target.

I love your commitment to the Environment ! Reading these pages on your site is like sitting in my Environmental Studies Class. It is so relevant and important to our planet and if more companies ran this way, we could start the draw down much faster. I appreciate the effort that Davines take in being a B corp, being carbon neutral, and setting goals for net zero. Plus your products are awesome! Your company is a prime example that it can be done! Thank you Davines.

Hi,
I love your product, your shampoo is the only one that works on my fine curly hair. I try not to buy single use containers but your shampoo bars don’t work as well for me and I use more water with them. I was wondering if you had a bottle recycling program for you product. I would totally be willing to ship my empty bottles back to you company so they can be reused. Rather then just recycling then.
Best,
Rosa
