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

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

GHG Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

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

0 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

372 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

372 tCO2e

02 Offset

Knickey invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables Knickey to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$3,050.70

Knickey's credits came from:

Emissions Offset

Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from our import shipping.

How We'll Reduce It

We will work to ship via ocean freight (rather than air freight) for 25% of our shipments.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce the emissions from procurement and importing.

How We'll Reduce It

Using historical data and software solutions, we can more accurately model consumer demand, and in doing so, can reduce unnecessary overstock and reduce emissions from our material consumption and shipping. Additionally, we plan to audit our manufacturing

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce or eliminate air freight shipments between our Tier 2 (component) manufacturers and our Tier 1 (assembly) factories.

How We'll Reduce It

We will engage with our suppliers to plan orders far enough in advance to allow for the use of slower but less carbon intensive shipping methods, like ocean or rail.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions at our new headquarters office.

How We'll Reduce It

We will purchase a clean energy mix from our electricity provider.
