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

LifeStraw 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.

15 tCO2e

67 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

5,890 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

5,972 tCO2e

02 Offset

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

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

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.

03 Reduce

LifeStraw has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable LifeStraw to emit fewer emissions in the future.

Mid Term Targets

LifeStraw has committed to reducing emissions by .

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Mid Term Targets

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Reduction Actions

LifeStraw is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from our purchased electricity by converting facility energy to 100% renewables and / or solar.

How We'll Reduce It

We will convert our headquarters and Vietnam facility energy to 100% renewables and/or solar electricity.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from upstream shipping.

How We'll Reduce It

We will reduce emissions from upstream shipping by 1) continuing efforts to optimize container utilization, 2) moving some manufacturing closer to the consumer, and 3) improving processes and timelines to allow for less air freight shipments.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from our packaging.

How We'll Reduce It

We plan to exclusively use 100% post-consumer recycled content and other sustainable materials in our packaging.

In Progress Reductions

What We’re Reducing

We will create a roadmap in 2020, to go 100% plastic free or compostable for all packaging by 2021.

How We'll Reduce It

What We’re Reducing

We will launch our recycling program, including a partnership with How2Recycle, in order to increase customer recycling of our products and packaging.
