We believe that businesses have the power to make real, meaningful progress in securing a low-climate future. That’s why we decided to pursue Climate Neutral certification. Being Climate Neutral Certified means that we’ve measured and removed all of our carbon emissions from making and delivering our products in a given year.
Climate Neutral
Measure
The first step to becoming Climate Neutral certified is measurement. It’s important to know where we stand today so we can work to not only offset but reduce our footprint moving forward. Our carbon footprint includes all the impacts of running our brand –from making our products to delivering them to our customers.
Our 2022 Carbon Footprint: 63,248
We measure our onsite and supply chain emissions in accordance with the GHG protocol. Our direct and indirect onsite emissions only make up about 2% of our overall footprint while our supply chain emissions account for about 98%.
Reduce
Progressive emissions reduction plans are needed to decarbonize our entire economy and protect our planet. With this in mind, it is pivotal to reduce our emissions as a whole. We are striving to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C and have set science aligned targets to help hold us accountable.
Our 2030 targets are reductions against a 2021 baseline.
- We aim to have a 42% absolute reduction in our GHG emissions across Scope 1 + 2
- We aim to have a 48% per-unit reduction in our GHG emissions across our Purchased Goods & Services.
These are pretty big goals but we’re dedicated to putting in the work to meet these reduction targets and continue to grow our business sustainably. We’re working on putting together a roadmap of how we plan to meet these goals and will publish it once it’s complete.
Compensate
Climate experts agree that we must limit global warming to avoid the greatest climate impacts and potential irreversible tipping points. This is achievable if we take immediate action and start working towards both short-term and long-term reduction strategies.
We acknowledge that offsets are not the answer to fighting climate change but they are an important tool for speeding up climate action. That’s why in the short-term we offset 100% of our carbon emissions by supporting projects that align with our values.
To offset our 2022 carbon footprint we partnered with Pachama & 3Degrees to support the following projects:
Borneo Peatlands
Project Type: Avoided Planned Deforestation
Location: Indonesia
Total Offset (mt of CO2e): 16,497
Central Kalimantan Peatlands
Project Type: Avoided Planned Deforestation
Location: Indonesia
Total Offset (mt of CO2e): 15,936
Vaspet II and III Wind Power
Project Type: Renewable Energy
Location: India
Total Offset (mt of CO2e): 9,933
Prairie Winds ND11 Emissions Reduction
Project Type: Emissions Reduction
Location: Minot, North Dakota
Total Offset (mt of CO2e): 20,519
*363 MT CO2e were offset through our Flexport partners.
