About us
"As a customer, I don't want to worry about whether something is produced sustainably and fairly. I assume it is, I want to be able to rely on my eco shop to ensure exactly that."
Axel Böhm, CEO
sustainably change consumption.
As the largest contiguous forest area on earth, the taiga is extremely important for our global ecosystem. The forests and soils of the taiga store huge amounts of carbon and are therefore a climate-stabilizing area and an indispensable source of oxygen for us. All of this without any waste products: a fantastic example.
Our mission: To be a truly sustainable alternative to the big, well-known online shopping platforms. Taiga Shop We make it easy for you to shop sustainably and responsibly, while at the same time encouraging manufacturers to produce in a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible way.
Our vision: We want to achieve climate-positive shopping in the future. That sounds almost unrealistic and is of course still a long way off. But we believe in it. To achieve this, we are working on many adjustments along the value chain with manufacturers, suppliers, partners from science, but especially politically and socially. Therefore, our focus - in addition to our product range - is also on ourselves as a sustainable company: From the very beginning, we have been actively working to minimize our own ecological footprint and become social pioneers.
Join us on this journey: What we are currently working on and what our next steps are to grow as a shopping platform for sustainable products, you can find in our Blog . track
This is how we think about sustainability
All of our products are carefully researched and documented for you. We have developed our own criteria and a comprehensive Taiga Eco Rating system so that NO product that does not meet our minimum sustainability requirements ends up in our Eco Shop. In this way, we pursue a common goal: Green shopping with a clear conscience! You can find out more about our Taiga Eco Rating here.
Let's be honest, of course there are currently no truly sustainable material or packaging alternatives for many products. For example, plastic cannot be completely avoided and sometimes even makes sense if the recycling cycle is well thought out and works. However, there are various measures that we as a company can take or that you as a consumer can take to compensate for resource and CO2 consumption - so that more plastic is removed from the environment when you buy than we send you in the product. But, step by step!
Just as we first classified and evaluated each product for you with our Taiga Eco Rating according to 5 sustainability criteria, we enable you to obtain largely sustainable product alternatives for you, your job and your leisure time. Everything on taiga.green.
In the next step, we will look at the CO2 and resource consumption of the individual products and are currently working with research institutes on a way to compensate for this when you buy. In this context, we also strive to work closely with the manufacturers and our logistics partners and try together to increase the ecological and social standards step by step along the value chain. We will keep you informed about this in our Newsroom and social media!
