As World Environment Day approaches, we at Gemar are proud to reaffirm our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. This year, our focus is on the significant strides we’ve made in our journey towards a greener future, highlighted by our FSC® certification and our impactful partnership with Treedom.
100% FSC®-Certified Balloons: A Step Towards Sustainable Celebration
We are thrilled to introduce our new range of 100% FSC®-certified Gemar balloons (FSC™ C155424). This certification ensures that the materials used in our balloons come entirely from FSC®-certified forests, which are managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers.
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just the balloons themselves. We have also designed our packaging to be recyclable or reusable, significantly reducing waste. Unlike standard balloon packaging, our zip bags can be kept, reused, and refilled, embodying the principle that sometimes the little things can make a big difference.
Partnering with Treedom: Planting Trees for a Greener Tomorrow
In line with our dedication to sustainability, we have partnered with Treedom, an organization devoted to planting trees and promoting sustainable agriculture. Through this collaboration, we have planted 300 trees in agricultural lands, ensuring better food security for farmers and their families while combating climate change.
Trees play a crucial role in absorbing CO₂, providing habitats for wildlife, and maintaining ecological balance. By supporting Treedom, we are taking proactive steps to offset our carbon emissions and invest in the future of our planet and its communities.
