About Us — Clozist: The Climate-First Marketplace


Clozist isn’t the future of e-commerce. It’s the correction.

E-commerce today is fast, convenient… and dangerously polluting. Every click, cart, and delivery often comes with a hidden environmental cost. That’s why we built Clozist — a climate-conscious marketplace that does the job better: for the planet, for people, and for small businesses.


Our Mission: Decarbonizing E-commerce, Behind the Scenes

Our mission is simple but ambitious: to decarbonize e-commerce.

We’ve reimagined how online shopping works — not just what you buy, but how it moves, who it supports, and what impact it leaves behind. Clozist is more than a product platform; it’s a system-wide rethink of digital retail, with sustainability built into every layer.

Here’s how we’re doing it:

  • 🚛 Low-impact dropshipping that cuts down unnecessary transport emissions.

  • 🤝 Fair commissions that empower 220+ small businesses, 80% of which are women-led.

  • Transparent, eco-certified products that safeguard both the planet and your health.

  • 📊 Your Personal Impact Dashboard — track how every purchase reduces CO₂, recycles plastic, and supports global humanitarian projects.

We want to “climate-friendly” what customers never see: warehouses, shipping routes, backend logistics, and business models.

Because real climate action happens behind the scenes.


Our Commitment to Impact: Purpose Before Profit

At Clozist, impact isn’t a marketing buzzword — it’s our business model.
We commit to reinvesting at least 51% of our net profits back into initiatives that drive sustainability, support small businesses, and ensure long-term positive change. This commitment is overseen by our board to maintain transparency and responsible stewardship.

Every order counts:

  • 🌿 Save 7kg of CO₂

  • ♻️ Recycle the equivalent of 2 plastic bottles

  • 🐝 Save 20 bees for every review you leave

  • 🌍 Support UN-backed climate & humanitarian projects

  • 🧮 Track your growing positive footprint with every ethical purchase

Clozist is not just a place to shop.
It’s a platform to act.

Together, we can decarbonize e-commerce — step by step, order by order.


Our Story: From Ocean Lovers to Changemakers

Clozist was born from a shared passion for protecting our oceans. Founders Julie and Benjamin saw an urgent need during the COVID-19 pandemic to rethink the way we shop online. They envisioned a marketplace that empowers consumers to access the best eco-friendly products, while also giving a platform for American small businesses (which make up 97% of Clozist's catalog) to grow and thrive.


Why the Name “Clozist”?

The name “Clozist” embodies our philosophy:

📍 “Cloz” symbolizes closeness — connecting shoppers with nearby, ethical, and sustainable products. Eco-friendly shopping should be local, transparent, and accessible.

🦁 “-ist” represents intention — it signifies a person who actively chooses conscious consumption, supports small ethical businesses, and practices sustainability in daily life.

At Clozist, you’re not just a shopper.
You’re a climate optimist, a changemaker, a true Clozist.
