Pumpkin Organics is now apparently carbon neutral

The baby food manufacturer says it is offsetting its entire CO2 emissions for 2020 and is supporting a project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Munich-based start-up Pumpkin Organics sees itself as a pioneer in the German baby food industry. The young company now wants to minimize its ecological footprint. To this end, it uses vegetarian ingredients from organic farming for its baby food, which are produced as regionally as possible.

Where Pumpkin Organics is not yet able to reduce its ecological footprint, it wants to offset it completely. Together with the organization ClimatePartner, the start-up supports the project "Hydropower for the protection of the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo". The region is known for its endangered mountain gorillas. "For a healthy and happy tomorrow, it is essential that companies face up to their responsibility for the environment. We are proud to play our part in this and hope to instil the topic of sustainability in even the youngest of children," says Jaclyn Schnau, founder and Managing Director of Pumpkin Organics.
