Leaf Shave

Sustainability Story

We ask our users to make a change in their daily habits by switching from plastic razors to Leaf razors; we would never ask something of someone else that we aren't ready to do ourselves. So we feel compelled to do our part in finding incremental ways to make an impact from the company all the way through to our users. Becoming Climate Neutral Certified just makes sense.

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 :

GHG Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

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

10 tCO2e

0 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

538 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

548 tCO2e

02 Offset

Leaf Shave 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 Leaf Shave to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$6,576.00

Leaf Shave'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.

548 tCO2e

Lifetime Emissions Offsets

259 tCO2e
