Promo Punks x Greenfleet: One Tick to Offset Your Order’s Carbon Footprint

Big news from the Promo Punks workshop: we've officially partnered with Greenfleet, Australia’s first carbon offset provider. From now on, every quote and order you get from us shows the estimated carbon footprint of that order in kilograms, and a single voluntary checkbox lets you offset it. Tick the box, and your contribution goes directly to Greenfleet to grow legally protected native forests in Australia.

No lectures. No guilt trips. No mysterious surcharges buried in the fine print. Just a number and an optional tick, with the exact contribution for your specific order shown right there on the quote. Here's everything you need to know about who Greenfleet is, how it works, and why we picked trees over trendy.

Who Is Greenfleet?

Greenfleet is an Australian environmental not-for-profit that has been delivering climate action for almost 30 years. It's a registered charity with the ACNC, which means it's the real deal, properly regulated and publicly accountable.

What do they actually do? They plant native, biodiverse forests on land that was previously cleared, in both Australia and New Zealand, to remove carbon from the atmosphere. And they've been at it long enough to have serious numbers behind them:

• 11.7 million native trees planted
• 580+ native forests established
• 11,700 hectares of land revegetated
• On track to remove 6 million tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
• 444 hectares of new koala habitat created in 2025 alone

They work alongside local communities and Traditional Owners, and the forests they plant are legally protected for up to 100 years, with ongoing monitoring to make sure they keep doing their job. When we went looking for a partner, we wanted someone with a long track record and receipts to match. Greenfleet ticked every box, so now you can tick one too.

How the Per-Order Offset Works at Checkout

It's simple: every quote and order from Promo Punks now includes a calculated estimate of that specific order's carbon footprint in kilograms, plus one checkbox to voluntarily offset it. The quote shows the contribution for that specific order, so you know exactly what you're signing up for before you commit. Tick it and your order becomes carbon neutral, with your contribution passed directly to Greenfleet.

A few things worth spelling out, because we hate murky sustainability claims as much as you do:

• It's completely voluntary. The box is unticked until you tick it. Nothing is added to your order automatically, ever.
• It's calculated per order. Not a flat fee. We work out a calculated estimate of the footprint based on what you're actually ordering.
• It's fully transparent. Your quote shows the contribution for that specific order before you tick anything. Every order is different, so the number you see is the number that applies to yours.
• Your contribution funds native reforestation, including its legal protection and ongoing monitoring to create thriving forests.

That's the whole system. One number, one tick, one contribution to growing real forests. If you'd rather not, no worries, your order goes through exactly as normal.

Why We Chose Native Reforestation

We chose native reforestation because it's climate action you can stand in. Greenfleet's forests are physical, native, biodiverse places planted on previously cleared land, and they're legally protected for up to 100 years with ongoing monitoring.

That 100-year legal protection matters to us. It means the trees funded by your contribution aren't a photo op that gets bulldozed in a decade. They're locked in for the long haul and watched over to make sure they thrive.

Biodiversity was the other big one. These aren't sterile rows of a single species. Greenfleet plants native, biodiverse forests, which means habitat comes back along with the carbon removal. In 2025 alone, their work created 444 hectares of new koala habitat. Offsetting your merch order and helping house koalas in the same tick? We're into it.

And finally, the way Greenfleet works matters. They partner with local communities and Traditional Owners on their projects. Restoring cleared land properly means doing it with the people connected to that land, and Greenfleet has built that into how they operate. That's the kind of partner we're proud to put our name next to.

What This Means If You Already Watch Our Carbon Footprint Estimates

If you've been checking the carbon footprint estimates we display on our products, this partnership closes the loop: you can now act on those numbers with a single tick at checkout. The estimates were always step one. Now there's a step two.

We started showing footprint estimates because we reckon you can't make good decisions without good information. But information on its own only gets you so far. You'd see the number, maybe factor it into your choice, and then... that was it. There was nowhere for that awareness to go.

Now there is. See the footprint, tick the box, and your order's carbon is offset through native forests that are legally protected for up to 100 years. For the procurement folks among you, this also gives you something concrete for your own sustainability reporting: a per-order footprint estimate and a voluntary offset contribution going to a registered Australian charity. Clean numbers, clear destination, no hand-waving.

And if you've never once looked at those estimates? Also fine. The checkbox will be there whenever you're ready, and it'll never tick itself.

Proudly Supporting Greenfleet

You'll now see the "Proudly Supporting Greenfleet" badge around our site and on our quotes. It's not decoration. It's shorthand for everything above: a calculated footprint estimate on every order, a voluntary offset option with the contribution for your specific order shown on every quote, and contributions that go directly to growing native forests.

We're a custom promotional products company, not a climate charity, and we're not going to pretend a checkbox saves the planet. But we can be honest about the footprint of what we make, and we can give you a dead-simple way to do something about it. That felt like the punk thing to do. Huge thanks to Greenfleet for having us, and to every customer who ticks the box. Those trees are on you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the carbon offset mandatory on my order?

No. The offset is completely voluntary and opt-in on every quote and order. The checkbox stays unticked unless you choose to tick it, and your order proceeds as normal either way.

Where does my offset money actually go?

Your contribution goes directly to Greenfleet, an Australian environmental not-for-profit and registered charity. Greenfleet uses it to plant legally protected native, biodiverse forests on previously cleared land.

How do trees offset the carbon from my order?

Greenfleet plants native forests specifically to remove carbon from the atmosphere. We estimate your order's footprint in kilograms, and your contribution funds forest growth that removes that carbon over time. Greenfleet is on track to remove 6 million tonnes of carbon through this work.

How long are the forests protected?

Greenfleet's forests are legally protected for up to 100 years, with ongoing monitoring. The trees your contribution helps plant are secured for the long term, not just for a launch photo.
