Since our journey began in 2023, we have made significant strides towards becoming a more sustainable company. Notable successes include planting [ 2,383 ] trees in Kenya, which has removed 887.29 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere, and sourcing 75% of our raw materials from certified sustainable sources, supporting environmentally friendly farming and manufacturing practices. These achievements reflect the hard work and dedication of our team and partners. However, we understand that sustainability is a continuous journey, not a destination.

Despite our progress, we recognize that there are areas where we still need improvement. One of our biggest challenges is the use of plastic in our packaging. Currently, all OHME! bags contain plastic to ensure our products remain in their optimal state during shipping and storage. While this is crucial for maintaining quality, we understand it is not the most sustainable option. How can we achieve the best of both worlds? Although we are unable to eliminate plastic from our bags at this time, we are committed to avoiding plastic in all other forms of packaging and recycling twice as much plastic back into the community for every bag sold.

How can we contribute to the community and the beloved environment we live in? This is the question that keep popping up when we think about our deep connection with Mother Earth. With our backgrounds in healthcare, we're passionate about giving back. Seeing the BC wildfires and feeling the effects of climate change firsthand, we've decided to do our part and give back to our precious nature.

From July 2023 to Jun 2024, we've partnered with Ecodrive (sister company to Veritree) to engage in diverse environmentally conscious initiatives aimed at mitigating carbon emissions and combating climate change.

Every purchase made contributes directly to our ongoing efforts to give back to the planet, from land to sea.

Since the launch of OHME! in July 2023, we have planted more than 1,500 trees on our mother earth, focusing on areas in Kenya and BC.

Together with Ecodrive, we are rejuvenating mangrove habitats in Kenya and empowering Coastal Communities. Mangroves, typically found in saline coastal areas and tidal zones, are vital for maintaining shoreline stability and safeguarding communities during severe weather events. Acting as a crucial line of defense during tropical storms, they play a vital role in shielding both the land and surrounding communities. Our hands-on approach involves the meticulous hand-planting of mangroves, one at a time, by our dedicated team. Using advanced devices, we capture essential data for verification, including time stamps, lat/longitude coordinates, and image/video documentation of each tree. This ensures the authenticity and impact of every contribution made toward the restoration effort.
