Renoun

Sustainability Story

When it comes to climate, ski companies are pretty good at hiding behind the 'cool' factor of skiing. In reality, producing skis and snowboards are incredibly detrimental to the environment in which they are used. We're excited to be the first ski company in the world to offset our carbon footprint — but admitting we're part of the problem is only the first step.

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

Renoun 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.

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.

216 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

217 tCO2e

02 Offset

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

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

Renoun'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.

03 Reduce

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

Mid Term Targets

Renoun has committed to reducing emissions by .

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