Climate action

Here's Our Plan

We're working towards a world where businesses are leading the change we need, placing planet and people first. By giving back to our communities, creating ethical and sustainable products and offsetting our emissions, we hope to show what a planet-first business can look like.

The following three part climate action plan was created in partnership with Climate Neutral.

This plan is divided in the 3 following sections:

Explore

01 Measure

completed
01 Measure
We measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

GHG Scope 1 = 14 tCO2e

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

GHG Scope 2 = 0 tCO2e

Indirect emissions from electricity.

GHG Scope 3 = 14,297 tCO2e

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

Total Emissions: 14,311 tCO2e

The sum of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

02 Offset

completed
02 Offset
We invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports our climate neutrality designation, and enables us to take responsibility for historical emissions that can't be reduced.

Emissions Offset Total: 14,311 tCO2e

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1,000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

Our carbon credits came from:

Cookstoves

We supported the manufacturing and distribution of the JikoKoa Stove in Kenya. This stove is significantly more efficient and provides locals with a better ability to cook meals with low carbon emissions.

Total Emissions = 14,311 tCO2e

We supported the installation of a 90 MW solar power project in Karnataka state of India. The project will replace greenhouse gases emissions connected to the Indian grid, which is mainly dominated by thermal/fossil fuel based power plants.

03 Reduce

in the work
03 Reduce
We have set targets and identified actions to reduce our emissions from operations and our supply chain. These actions will enable us to emit fewer emissions in the future.

Current Year Reduction Actions

We are implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain
01 Reduce Emissions From Fossil Fuels at the Factory Level
How We'll Reduce It
We will work in collaboration with the Apparel Impact Institute, Carbon Leadership Program and our factories to create a roadmap for decarbonization.

We will increase renewable energy use by 25%.
02 Reduce the Volume of Virgin Materials we use in our Product.
How We'll Reduce It
We will increase recycled material use by 25%.

In Progress Reductions

01 Factory Emissions
How We'll Reduce It
We aim to work with our factories to implement renewable energy programs at some of our top manufacturing facilities.
02 Air Freight Emissions
How We'll Reduce It
We will aim to use more sustainable shipping methods (ie. vessel).
