Sustainability Story

At Icelantic, our mission is to help our customers Return to Nature. We create long lasting products that aim to inspire people through art and functionality to do just that. In order to live up to this mission, it is essential that we also protect nature in a variety of ways. Becoming Climate Neutral Certified is the first of many steps Icelantic is taking to reduce the impact our company and products have on the nature that we strive to return too. By quantifying our carbon emissions, we were able to set actionable reduction targets and find new ways to make our operations more efficient We will continue our partnerships with a variety of planet focused organizations by donating a portion of our sales of limited edition ski, apparel, and original artwork. As we continue on this journey, we will be implementing changes to our operations that maintain our commitments to our customers and our environment.

How We'll Reduce It

We will be working with Native Suns LLC that has recently built a solar garden very close to our headquarters. Our utility company, Xcel Energy will financially connect us to their solar garden and reduce our scope 2 electricity emissions.
