Other Sustainability Notes

BioLite is on a mission to empower people and protect the planet through access to renewable energy. Most people know us for our award-winning camping gear like the smokeless FirePit or rechargeable HeadLamp 330, but as a social enterprise, our biggest impact is in our emerging markets division where we've helped 1.7 million individuals access safe, reliable energy through our cooking, charging, and lighting solutions. We're in the business of clean energy, but it takes energy to make that happen we consume resources to manufacture and ship our products, to power our office, and to travel to our customers. The emissions that come from those actions affect us all and we are committed to mitigating our climate impact. In early 2015, we underwent an internal carbon impact analysis that identified where and how we are releasing greenhouse gases through both our manufacturing methods and our operations. In parallel with quantifying our emissions, we are able to measure the greenhouse gas reductions resulting from the use of BioLite's emission-reducing products in sub-Saharan Africa. We are proud to share that for every ton of carbon we emit in our operations, our solutions in-market avoid 20 tons . In November of 2015, BioLite offset the full carbon emissions history of the company (dating back to 2012) and has continued with carbon neutral operations each year since (see our annual Impact Report for more info: bioliteenergy.com/impact). In 2019, we co-founded Climate Neutral with our friends at Peak Design to demystify the footprinting process and help other brands take immediate action on their emissions. BioLite's vision is to reach 20 million people and offset 3 million tons of CO2e by 2025 with our clean energy solutions.
