1. Is there a policy for the brand (company) to minimize, reduce or compensate carbon emissions? Neither Freya nor Eveden Group (brand owner) communicates any information on its carbon emissions policy, if there is one, on its website. Sustainability information should be easily accessible for consumers to make responsible choices. (see links in both question 1 and 2) SOURCE

Eveden Group claims that it tries to shrink its carbon footprint by constantly challenging all aspects of its supply chain and adopting both local and international improvement initiatives. But it is not clear what concrete action Van Eveden Group has taken and what tangible results have been achieved. SOURCE
