RoAndCo

Sustainability Story

At RoAndCo we strive to incorporate environmental sustainability into all aspects of our studio. As an organization, we work together to minimize our environmental impact, and through our client work, we use our influence to help build more sustainable brands. In addition to our Climate Neutral commitment, we have set three overarching sustainability goals for 2022 to 2023: 1. Establish a formal workplace environmental stewardship policy. 2. Provide our team with formal and informal sustainability training — topics including but not limited to design and other industry-related facets. 3. Share our sustainability knowledge and recommendations with our clients, encouraging the brands we consult with to make environmentally responsible choices.

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

RoAndCo 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.

4 tCO2e

102 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

173 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

279 tCO2e

02 Offset

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

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$3,767

RoAndCo'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.
