Pakt Bags

Sustainability Story

At Pakt, we believe that the only truly "sustainable" product development is none at all. But since that option isn't compatible with the lives we lead and the world we live in, we're on a mission to do the next best thing: producing products as responsibly as possible, building them to last, and designing them to be versatile so that the buyer can minimize the number of products they need. Our approach involves measuring the carbon footprint of our products and manufacturing operations, reducing our impact through a range of initiatives, such as evaluating all materials and hardware used in products and taking a closer look at our shipping methods to see where we can improve, and fully offsetting the carbon emissions that remain.

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.

0 tCO2e

1 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

1,072 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

1,073 tCO2e

02 Offset

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

Total Investment in Carbon Credits
