Sustainability Story
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 :
Outer achieved Climate Neutral Certification as part of 's certification process. 's measurement, offsetting and reduction plans fully account for Outer's 2021 emissions
01 Measure
Outer 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.
1 tCO2e
GHG Protocol Scope 2
Emissions from electricity.
2 tCO2e
GHG Protocol Scope 3
Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.
6021 tCO2e
Total Carbon Emissions
The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
6024 tCO2e
02 Offset
Outer 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 Outer to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.
Total Investment in Carbon Credits
$33,373
Outer's credits came from:
Forestry ?
Forestry
There are many types of forestry projects. Some protect forests from deforestation, while others to plant new trees to restore existing forests. Many projects do both.
Cookstoves ?
Cookstoves
Projects that help communities replace inefficient wood-burning cookstoves with more efficient, safer models.
Renewable Energy ?
Renewable Energy
Projects that help catalyze the development of renewable energy in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
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
Outer has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable Outer to emit fewer emissions in the future.
Mid Term Targets
Outer 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
Outer is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.
Current Year Reduction Actions
01
What We’re Reducing
We plan to reduce emissions from packaging and products used, both in terms of packaging we use for the products we make, as well as through the swag and other products we use internally, replacing them with reusable or regenerative alternatives.
How We'll Reduce It
We'll eliminate excess materials where possible, use reusable boxes for D2C shipments, reconsider every polybag/hang tag, revisit our employee welcome kit, seek alternatives to single-use swag items, & use eco-friendly materials & manufacturing processes.
02
What We’re Reducing
We plan to reduce emissions through the energy used at our office and by our employees.
How We'll Reduce It
We will establish energy management practices like outlet timers, start-up & shut-down procedures, temperature set points, & employee training. Outer will have remote-optional/WFH options for select teams.
