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 :

Advanced Beauty Labs

American Made Skincare

Salvona achieved Climate Neutral Certification as part of 's certification process. 's measurement, offsetting and reduction plans fully account for Salvona's 2021 emissions

01 Measure

Salvona 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.

196 tCO2e

312 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

1,990 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

2,498 tCO2e

02 Offset

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

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$29,976.00

Salvona'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.

2,498 tCO2e

Lifetime Emissions Offsets

tCO2e

03 Reduce

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

Mid Term Targets

Salvona has committed to reducing 2021 emissions 50% by 2030.

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

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from our employee commute, specifically automobile travel.

How We'll Reduce It

We will encourage our employees to carpool to the office to save energy with an incentive. We will allow more flexible work from home programs on staff that has traditionally been in the office and lab.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from our packaging materials. We are transitioning from plastic HDPE pails to BIB systems.

How We'll Reduce It

We will pack all liquid products using a BIB system that will more efficiently package our goods to maximize space while minimizing plastic use.

In Progress Reductions

50%

What We’re Reducing

We plan to improve our production energy efficiency by focusing on using as much renewable energy as possible in our processing operations.

How We'll Reduce It

We will begin to transfer away from natural gas and focus on using electric sources of heating for out production batches. When possible we will formulate cold process formulations first, allowing us to avoid heating all together.

20%

What We’re Reducing

We plan to improve our purchasing processes to minimize shipments and consolidate them into as few total trips as possible.

How We'll Reduce It

Our overseas shipments will be consolidated into as few shipments as possible. Improved forecasting and planning.
