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

Lava Linens 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.

3 tCO2e

2 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

44 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

48 tCO2e

02 Offset

Lava Linens 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 Lava Linens to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce our emissions from the production of our raw materials by partnering with manufacturers that rely on renewable energy for a significant amount of their energy requirements (i.e., solar and wind).

How We'll Reduce It

Seek partnerships with manufacturers that have installed and use wind and solar to power their operations.

30%

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce our upstream shipping emissions by assuring 100% of large shipments of raw materials from overseas travel by sea rather than by air by the end of 2022.

How We'll Reduce It

We will aim to predict accurate consumer demand for products far enough in advance to account for additional shipping time to travel by sea rather than by air.

What We’re Reducing

Emissions from company-owned vehicle

How We'll Reduce It

Replace primary company vehicle with an electric vehicle

100%

What We’re Reducing

Business air travel

How We'll Reduce It

Relocate a staff member to be nearer production to decrease the need for air travel
