Protecting the planet we all call home has been a priority for Etsy since day one. In the face of a changing climate, we are urgently working to lighten our carbon footprint. We're proud that Etsy.com was the first major online shopping destination to completely offset carbon emissions from shipping, and we also offset all carbon emissions from the packaging our sellers use. Etsy.com operations, including our marketplace, are powered by renewable electricity.

Our 2023 Environmental Goals

Net Zero

Achieve Net Zero through targets aligned with the science of climate change while continuing to run a carbon neutral company.

  • Etsy, Inc.: By year end 2030, we aim to achieve a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1+2 greenhouse gas emissions and a 52% reduction in Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions per dollar of gross profit from a 2020 base year.
  • By year end 2040, we aim to achieve a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1+2 greenhouse gas emissions and 97% reduction in Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions per dollar of gross profit from a 2020 base year.
  • Continue to offset 100% of measured Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions annually.

We believe our Net Zero goal strengthens our position as a trusted brand and contributes to our long-term strategy and makes us more resilient, drives efficiencies, and prepares us for anticipated regulations. What’s more, we believe the benefits of reducing emissions resonate beyond our corporate boundaries, contributing to the overall health of people and planet.

Sustainable Operations

Maintain best-in-class sustainable operations.
  • Source 100% of electricity from renewable sources for all Etsy Inc. brands.
  • Achieve a 25% reduction in the intensity of our energy use in offices (kWh/sq. ft.) and for computing (kWh/visit) for Etsy.com by year end 2025.
  • Maintain “Zero Waste” across global operations for Etsy.com. Run “Zero Waste” operations at Reverb and Depop by year end 2025.

Maintaining best-in-class sustainable operations allows us to focus on long-term cost reduction, minimizing waste, and creating a healthier office environment for our employees. In 2022, we continued to make good progress against our goals.

Marketplace Sustainability

Establish our marketplaces as destinations for sustainably minded shoppers and conscious living by reducing the environmental impact of shopping and fulfillment lifecycles, and creating experiences that promote circularity.
  • Etsy.com: Monitor and report the percent of active listings that have sustainability attributes, and the percent of sellers who have added a sustainability attribute to at least one listing.
  • Depop: Leverage our marketing and product capabilities to facilitate access to circular fashion and inspire more people to shop circular.
  • Reverb: For every new item sold, we'll aim to sell at least one used item, and we'll aim to support circularity by increasing orders of used items by 25% by 2025.
