Boulders Climbing Gym

Sustainability Story

Boulders Climbing Gym is located on unceded Ho-Chunk and Winnebago land, and we urge our local and national governments to explore Land Back options to mitigate the detrimental environmental impacts of colonization. In the meantime, we are committed to minimizing our impact on this land and fostering sustainable relationships with the earth. We use over 99% renewable energy, with 25% coming from our own Shared Solar arrays, a program we source through MG&E. We engage our community in fundraising and clean-up efforts, invest in energy-efficient technology, source vegan and renewable products, and teach sustainable practices in our classes. We're proud to work with Climate Neutral to offset our remaining carbon footprint.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :
