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.
NW Commonwealth LLC achieved Climate Neutral Certification as part of 's certification process. 's measurement, offsetting and reduction plans fully account for NW Commonwealth LLC's 2021 emissions
01 Measure
NW Commonwealth LLC measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.
GHG Protocol Scope 1
Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.
699 tCO2e
GHG Protocol Scope 2
Emissions from electricity.
386 tCO2e
GHG Protocol Scope 3
Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.
21,454 tCO2e
Total Carbon Emissions
The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
22,539 tCO2e
02 Offset
NW Commonwealth LLC 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 NW Commonwealth LLC to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

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
NW Commonwealth LLC has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable NW Commonwealth LLC to emit fewer emissions in the future.
Mid Term Targets
NW Commonwealth LLC has committed to reducing 2021 emissions 42% by 2030.
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
NW Commonwealth LLC is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.
