Sustainability Story
Climate change is one of the largest single drivers of extreme poverty. It is estimated that without climate action, environmental degradation will displace up to 1.5 billion people by 2050 and there will be an increase to 3.5 million experiencing severe food and water insecurity (IEP, 2020). Taking this foundational contributor to extreme poverty into account, Cotopaxi has continuously worked on reducing its environmental impacts. Since our founding, Cotopaxi has piloted new ways of building friendly and functional products designed using sustainable principles and materials. This year we went past aligning with science-based targets and officially became carbon neutral through undertaking the Climate Neutral certification.
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 :
01 Measure
02 Offset
03 Reduce
