Certified B-Corp: A Mark of Responsibility
David Trubridge’s commitment to sustainability is officially recognized through B-Corp certification. This isn’t just a badge; it’s a promise. In a world where greenwashing is all too common, having an external endorsement like B-Corp means the company truly walks the talk. As David Trubridge puts it, “because there is no planet B!” — this certification reflects a deep focus on turning business into a force for good, caring for the environment and people alike.
Seed System Kitsets: Growing Your Own Light
The Seed System Kitsets are a game-changer in lighting design. Instead of shipping bulky, fully assembled lights, customers receive compact kitsets that they ‘grow’ into full light shades. This approach drastically cuts down on shipping volume—about 1/30th of the assembled size—reducing carbon emissions and truck traffic. Plus, it creates a personal connection between the buyer and the product, making the lighting experience more interactive and meaningful.
Free Shipping Worldwide with a Purpose
Shopping with Dusk by David Trubridge means more than just convenience. Free shipping is offered on all orders worldwide, but here’s the twist: the company absorbs these costs and donates the equivalent savings to local and environmental charities. This includes organizations like the Maraetōtara Tree Trust and Sustainable Coastlines, ensuring that every purchase supports positive community and environmental impact. So, customers get their beautiful lighting delivered for free, while also contributing to causes that matter.
