HAE Now OrganicTee

HAE NOW stands for Humans Animals & Environment ... NOW! Every business needs to be profitable. However, we believe that ethics and social responsibility

should not be forsaken for profits but seen as a roadmap to lasting success. We endorse human and worker rights. We work to preserve the environment and protect the animals that share our fragile planet. Therefore, we chose a name we can always turn to for inspiration: 'HAE NOW' is a reminder to put Humans, Animals and Environment first! Our Environmental Commitment: As a certified green business, we continually look for ways to lower our carbon footprint. Some of the practices that reflect our green values are: It's not just a 'line'! Rather than offer an organic 'line' alongside conventional products, we are committed to ensuring that 100% of our products are sustainably produced with certified organic cotton. Grown on organic and biodynamic farms that use croprotation, handfarming and botanical pest control, our entire production uses lowimpact processing and ecofriendly dyeing that helps reduce water and electric use and toxic runoff. We use nonchlorine bleach, siliconfree softeners and low impact, azofree dyes that do not create a hazard to human and animal health and the environment. We purchase carbon offsets from Native Energy Inc. to offset the environmental impact resulting from our warehouse operations, employee commutes and inbound ocean shipping. We also offer our customers the option to purchase carbon offsets on outbound shipping to them. Replacing our energy from fossil fuels with clean, renewable sources helps us all take part in the fight against global warming. We use minimal packaging and reuse most of our packing materials and corrugated boxes whenever possible. We are currently able to reuse or recycle 8085% of materials to minimize the trash we generate. We continue to go paperless as much as possible by using electronic invoicing and online systems for ordering and processing and shipping systems. We do not conduct mass mailings. We use online sales tools, and catalogs are only mailed upon request. In our office, we utilize minimal printing with remote accounting systems, digital faxing and emailing. The paper we do buy is 100% recycled 100% PCC.
