Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Reverb
As a subsidiary of Etsy, Reverb shares their industry-leading pledge to reach Net Zero carbon emissions by 2030. When someone buys an item on Reverb, we measure the carbon emissions released into the atmosphere as a result of shipping that item, the materials used to pack the items, end user energy use (like the energy it takes for buyers to search for and purchase items on Reverb.com), and our corporate supply chain in that calculation and increasing our investments in offsets accordingly, and invest in projects that reduce carbon emissions by the same amount, with no additional cost to buyers or sellers. This is in addition to being a carbon neutral company since 2019 (i.e., offsetting employee commuting, office energy use, business travel, etc.).
One of the ways we're making the world more musical is through Reverb Gives, which provides musical instruments to youth music education programs. Our team also gives back to the community and causes important to them with paid volunteer hours and our donation matching program.
