In an era where every action counts toward shaping the future of our planet, Urban Global is proud to announce a groundbreaking step towards sustainability. We are transitioning to carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative shipping practices, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to the environment and pioneering a movement within the luxury streetwear sector. This initiative is not just about reducing our carbon footprint; it's about rewriting the narrative of fashion's impact on the planet.
Why It Matters
The urgency to act against climate change has never been more critical. The Paris Agreement outlines a global framework to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, aiming for 1.5°C. To achieve this, not only must we reach net-zero emissions by 2050, but we also need to remove up to 10 gigatonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere annually by this target year.
How We're Achieving Carbon-Neutral Shipping
Urban Global is leveraging the latest innovations in carbon removal technology to make every shipment carbon-neutral or negative. We've partnered with leading companies specializing in cutting-edge carbon capture and storage solutions, each contributing uniquely to the fight against climate change:
Grassroots Carbon utilizes nature-based solutions, connecting us with certified landowners who can store carbon in soil, turning the ground beneath our feet into a powerful carbon sink.
Running Tide focuses on enhancing the ocean's natural carbon absorption capabilities, highlighting the sea's role as the world's largest carbon sink.
Remora captures carbon emissions directly from transportation vehicles, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of our logistics operations.
Heirloom leverages direct air capture technology, accelerating the natural carbon mineralization process to remove CO2 from the atmosphere more efficiently.
Planetary and Charm introduce innovative methods to safely remove and store atmospheric CO2, ensuring that our shipments contribute positively to the planet's health.
The Impact of Your Support

We are excited to lead by example in the luxury streetwear industry, proving that fashion can indeed be both fabulous and forward-thinking in its approach to environmental stewardship.
